Current Board Members
The following is a list of the current Board of Directors. As you may have noticed, we currently have two positions that have been vacant since their previous officials resigned. As required in our bylaws, the officers of the Board must elect some replacements to fill the positions until the next general election.
We're asking for nominations for candidates for the office of Treasurer and Resource Manager. The descriptions of what responsibilities these offices entail can be found in the bylaws. All board officers must pay monthly dues, attend bi-weekly Board meetings, and are encouraged to walk around in lab coats. If you're interested in joining our ranks, please e-mail our champions, Jacob and Jeremy using info {at} heatsynclabs.org.
HeatSync Labs is run by a Board of Directors, which rules HeatSync Labs with an iron fist and a golden wallet. Each officer is voted into office once a year by the membership, unless they become vampires and become impeached. The bylaws outline the structure of the Board in more detail.
If you would like to contact everyone on the Board, drop a line to board [at] heatsynclabs.org.
Our current slate of officers are the following:
