Apogaea 2015 Call for Board Applications

Ballot_boxes

We won Apogaea 2014 as hard as it could be won and it’s time to start in on Apogaea 2015!!

To those board members who have completed their term as well as those who are moving on: We thank you, profusely, over and over again, for devoting so much time to our community. Thank you so very much for your hard work and dedication!

With that said, it’s time to open the nominations for new board member candidates! This is an opportunity to impact change at the highest level of responsibility within the organization. We’re looking for a few good men, women, or muppets to step up and join the ranks of the Apogaea Board of Directors.

There are a total of 9 board members at any given time. Every year, Ignition elects three new board members for 3-year terms. In addition to our 3 full-term positions, the new board will vote in August to fill a one year vacancy (and perhaps an additional 2 year vacancy).

Think you’ve got the proverbial mustard? Check out the destructions below.
