Join Our Board

Bringing together the expertise of a wide range of passionate people to guide our organization.

At CCE, we're proud of our non-traditional Board model that allows us to engage a larger group from the legal, business, civic, and judicial communities as volunteers and community leaders, while still ensuring robust financial and programmatic governance. CCE’s Board of Directors boasts an impressive list of over 60 law firms, over 20 businesses, and many judicial, civic, and high-visibility ex officio Directors. We are unique in bringing these distinguished and diverse groups together in common purpose to address justice system reform and access to justice needs.

What are some of the benefits of Board membership?

Serving on the Council for Court Excellence’s Board of Directors connects you – and your organization – with other local leaders who share your commitment to the effective and equitable administration of justice in our community.  

As a Board Director, you will shape CCE’s impact and ensure that we meet our vision of a better justice system for the District of Columbia.

CCE Board Directors have the opportunity to contribute to CCE’s mission and support our governance and fiscal success. Additionally, you will have access to unique marketing, promotion, and programmatic engagement opportunities.
