Are you interested in becoming integrally involved in Apogaea? Do you love the event and want to implement your ideas for improvement? Do you have strong leadership abilities and a passion for the local burner community?
This is a call for applications to fill five open board positions. The open positions include 1 one-year term, going through Apogaea 2016, 1 two-year term ending in 2017, and 3 three-year terms going through 2018. Please specify which term, or “all”, you’d be interested in when applying.
Nominations for board candidates will be taken until July 24th at midnight. We have had a call for board candidates all year and per Apogaea bylaws, the official call for nomination of board candidates stays open for 14 days. After the 14 days have concluded, the board candidates’ ballot will be shared with the community and the election will be held via on-line vote from July 25th until August 8th. The results of the board election will be announced within 24 hours of the vote closing.
