Altitude FC Board Application Form 2025
Apply to join Altitude FC's Board of Directors for the calendar year of 2025 and shape the future of Altitude FC. Make sure to apply before the end of this year if you are trying to run during the 2025 Annual General Membership Meeting elections (which will occur in Q1 of 2025). 

How Elections Work

The current Board will review applications to verify legitimacy. If an application is considered legitimate, meaning all personal details and candidacy questions are filled out with accurate and relevant information, the candidate applying will be added to the list of Board candidates. If the Board notices any simple mistakes (i.e. spelling errors, accidentally filled out sections with information meant for other sections, etc.) in an application, the Board should notify the candidate and have them resubmit the correct information via an email to info@altitudefc.club. A Board Member will then correct the information in the response sheet. This can only be done once. 

The personal details, profile photo, and answers to the candidacy questions will be added to a PowerPoint deck and presented during the Annual General Membership Meeting. After the PowerPoint is presented, Members in attendance (online or in-person) will be given a link for a virtual vote form. The virtual vote form will require a password in order to be counted and this password will be emailed to Members prior to the meeting. A Member conducts a vote by checking off none (if they choose to abstain) or a maximum of one (1) of the candidates for each position. If an incumbent or new candidate is running uncontested, they will still have their information displayed on the PowerPoint deck.

Once a Board Member gets verbal approval from attending Members that all the votes are cast, the virtual vote tally for each position will be displayed on the screen during the presentation. In the event of a tie, votes will be recast for that position immediately after all the other winners are announced. The winner for each position, including uncontested incumbents or new candidates that are voted in by default, will be announced and immediately inaugurated during the duration of the Annual General Membership Meeting. If an incumbent was replaced, they will immediately be removed off the Board, unless that incumbent was the President, in which case they will be immediately designated as the Immediate Past President for a minimum of one (1) year, but possibly longer if the new President serves more than one term and reappoints the Immediate Past President during their second term.
