One of the Board members appointed by the mayor of Cleveland must be a CMHA resident.

Note: You can attend CMHA board meetings in person in the boardroom at CMHA’s offices, located at 8120 Kinsman Road in Cleveland. You can also attend remotely by joining a Zoom link. We do not know when a recording of the Zoom meeting would be available, as CMHA distributes it only via a public record request. So, to document the meeting, please attend at the time of the meeting. It could be helpful to record audio of the meeting with your phone or a recording device, but it is not a requirement of the assignment.
