Last month, we announced that the CoCo would hold its inaugural elections. Today, we’re introducing your newly elected Board of Directors and Executive Director! They serve one-year terms and will lead the CoCo as it grows and expands.

Eight players have registered as candidates to lead the CoCo. What you’ll find among their election platforms is a recurring theme of how special this community is and how the candidates want to nurture it. Read their full platforms and vote for your vision of Scrabble’s future.

The CoCo is reaching an important milestone. For the first time, we are holding elections for our leadership positions. Every senior leadership position in the organization is up for election, and any CoCo member who resides in North America is eligible to run.

Back when COVID-19 cases started to rise in North America, we were quick to take action to protect our players. We canceled our spring and now our summer tournaments. The good news is, we’ve pivoted to hosting virtual tournaments and kept moving forward with plans for our long-term future.

In the days since we launched the CoCo, players have clamored for information about just about every aspect of the organization, and that’s a good thing. We have been tracking your comments and are working hard to catalog and respond to them in an organized way - all while working on other aspects of the CoCo that will be crucial to its success.
