Spring Election Group Ballot

Members running on the group ballot to fill board of director positions will be awarded their pillar selection in order of seniority (for existing board members), then by number of votes. Members do not run for specific pillars and are not guaranteed any specific position.

Vice President (VP) of the Board of Directors serves second to the Executive Director (President) and may preside as the Executive Director in the absence of the President.
The VP’s role includes leading and facilitating any special projects for the league (ie., previously, Rage City Juniors; currently, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives), and supporting other board members for each pillar. The VP does not serve as the head of a specific pillar.
Marketing refers to any actions Rage City takes to attract an audience to recruitment, games, and events through high-quality messaging online and in print media. Marketing’s primary goal is to communicate value for prospective new members and fans through consistent, quality content and to continue strengthening brand loyalty.
Public relations director manages the creation of marketing messages that positively impacts the public image of the league. It is PR’s duty to ensure that league brand content is consistent, well timed, and newsworthy.
The Moneymakers Pillar Director is responsible for coordinating and directing the league’s fundraising and sponsorship activities. This pillar also coordinates the sale and ordering of our merchandise. The Leagues Annual Silent Auction is coordinated within this pillar, and this event is our largest fundraising event of the season, historically raising up to $24,000 for our league.

Please Note: These are very serious roles with very serious responsibilities—we are looking for members who are dedicated to the sport, have a deep interest in Rage City, and are passionate about the success of the league. We are also looking for members who know the history of Rage City—not that you must be a vet but you've done your research about the league. This not a popularity contest—please don't nominate someone because their hair looks great or they're your BFF. If there is a person you know who would be phenomenal at a position, nominate them (just ask them first)!
