Diaspora Council of Tanzanians in America
Increasing number of DICOTA Board of Trustees Members
Dear Tanzanian Diaspora Member,
DICOTA has played a leadership role and taken on increasing responsibility in developing the Tanzania diaspora policy and agenda in partnership with Tanzania community associations, the Tanzanian government and its partners, and the USA diaspora at large. Sustaining this esteemed position requires expanded efforts at all levels of DICOTA. Therefore, in order to capitalize on these growing opportunities and responsibilities, the DICOTA Board of Trustees voted to increase the number of Board members from current five (5) to nine (9) in their recent special meeting.
This increase is in accordance with the DICOTA bylaws, which state; The Board of Trustees of DICOTA shall be composed of at least five (5) but not more than 11 members. Members of the Board of Trustees shall be elected for a term of three (3) years. Trustees shall be allowed to stand for election for a maximum of two (2) consecutive three-year terms and may be re-elected after being away for one (1) term; however, the immediate past Chair, shall serve one (1) additional year. The DICOTA President is an ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees. The resulting total number of Members of the Board of Trustees including the DICOTA President shall be an odd number to simplify the voting process.

To review and vet the slate of candidates that have accepted nomination and responded to the call to serve, click here. The information on these candidates will be available on-line for your review and consideration till December 27th, 2015.
Please note that in order to be eligible to vote on December 28th, 2015, membership dues must be paid in full by December 27th, 2015. Voting ballots will not be issued to inactive members as of December 27th, 2015.
The future of the DICOTA is in the hands of its elected officials. It is important therefore you exercise your opinion at this time.
With Kind Regards,
Dr. Ndaga Mwakabuta,
DICOTA President
