Meet the People Behind Element 11

In 2012 our community registered with the IRS and formed a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization. Part of this process was to create a functional Board of Directors. Our community would not be where it is today without the numerous hours of leadership time our Board of Directors volunteered. Their contribution is invaluable. At the end of 2013, we reorganized the responsibilities of the BoD into committees, with each BoD member serving as a committee director.
