Greetings Lovelies!
The votes are in, and we are happy to announce your Apogaea Board of Directors and 2016 Executive Committee!
There are a total of 9 board members at any given time. These returning board members are partway through their terms:
- Sharon “Trail Blazer” Duran (Class of 2016)
- Mariah Rossel (Class of 2016)
- Michael Moss (Class of 2017)
Each year, three board members “roll off,” and Apogaea’s voting body “Ignition” elects three new board members for 3-year terms. 69 of 150 Ignition members voted for the three open 3-year positions. In other words, roughly 46% of the members participated in the vote.
Please welcome our newest members of the Apogaea Board of Directors, as voted in by Ignition:
- Luke “Pyro” McOmie (Class of 2018)
- Taylor Denn (Class of 2017)
- Alexandria ‘Glitterati’ Zaila (Class of 2018)
In addition to our 3 full-term positions, the new board also votes in new members as needed to fill vacancies that occur. There were two vacancies going into this cycle. On August 24th, 2015, the board, including the newest elected members, appointed two members to the board.
Please also welcome the remaining new members of the Apogaea Board of Directors, as appointed by the board:
- Michael “Luki” Blank (Class of 2016)
- Stefani Nemmers (Class of 2017)
Finally, executive committee officers are elected by the full board. On September 13, 2015, the board voted in their officers, who will each serve a 1-year term.
Please welcome your Apogaea 2016 Officers:
- President – Sharon “Trail Blazer” Duran
- Vice President – Rob “Cano” Hodges
- Secretary: Jessica Huddle
- Treasurer: Dana Shier
