Board of Directors

The CEA-HOW Board of Directors is responsible for serving the Fellowship of CEA-HOW. The board is charged with:

  • maintaining services for everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively in CEA-HOW
  • conducting the business side of CEA-HOW
  • protecting the CEA-HOW Concept, 12 Steps, and 12 Traditions
  • carrying out the votes of the World Service Business Conference (usually held each July).

The Chairman of the Board is ultimately responsible for the actions of CEA-HOW. The Chairman is the Board's leader. Board members are elected to 2-year terms by the delegates to the World Service Conference.

Unless otherwise noticed, all meetings are held via teleconference.  All members are welcome.

*Non-participating directors are elected to the CEA-HOW Board in order to bring outside expertise to the Board's work. The bylaws call for election of two non-participating directors.

Since CEA-HOW is a non-profit corporation in California USA, it must also have corporate officers. These positions carry out the orders of the Board of Directors. CEA-HOW officers do not have to be members of the Board of Directors, or even members of the CEA-HOW Fellowship. This year, some Board members will also do service as corporate officers.
