Thank you for your interest in joining the Mountain Sage Board of Directors. We know that "many hands make light work". Completing this “Declaration of Candidacy Form” is the first step in the process of joining the MSCS Board. The form invites you to tell the Board about yourself, what excites you about MSCS, and your

interest areas as they relate to the school’s governance.

The Board’s job is to ensure candidates “reflect the qualities, qualifications and diversity” needed at the Board level to help MSCS move forward effectively.
