Board of Directors
About the Volunteers Elected to Lead CAPEX…
The CAPEX Board of Directors consists of Contributors in good standing, elected to a one-year term by the Contributorship. Board members serve the CAPEX organization as unpaid volunteers, dedicating additional time and energy to working and leading for the good of the Contributorship as a whole. Generally, the Board is made up of 5 individuals who cover a variety of positions and responsibilities.
