HISTORY

To catch up on what this is, for those of you who are new to HG, check out Phase 1 (lower management restructure) and Phase 2 (final, upper management restructure & first annual Elections).

What's New:

• Each year we will bring on new Directors through an annual Elections process by our Staff & Member votes per the Future & Direction Board guidelines. This doesn't mean all our current Directors lose their position or have to re-run, please read carefully below as we've done our best to accommodate current Leadership, while also bringing in new faces for innovation and longevity of the community.

Current Directors:

• Each Director is given the option to commit to a 2nd year term and remain the same rank. Each person is currently being contacted directly by Colin for a TS3 conversation.
• Current Directors that commit to a 2nd term will have one additional responsibility, which includes mentoring the incoming elected Director till the end of the active term.
• The HG Handbook states that Directors may hold a Director position for up to 2-years, we've made it so they are not required to re-run for a position for their second term.
• Current Directors that commit to a 2nd year and complete their term including successful mentorship of their successor, will be promoted to Senior Director. Senior Directors do not have a term limit. Senior Director is the most prestigious rank awarded in HG Leadership.

Current Associate/Assistant Directors:

• Current Leadership positions for Associates/Assistants will remain the same, however your position can be subject to change at a later date by the discretion of the newly elected Director with an approval by Chief of Staff.

Newly Elected Directors:

• Director-Elects will have a new title (TBA) and be mentored by the incumbent Director to learn the ropes.
