ThunderCon Board of Directors 

​Entirely run by volunteers, the ThunderCon Board of Directors functions a little differently than most non-profit organizations. Directors serve as both the governance and executive committees and are responsible for the overall management and direction of the organization as well as daily operations. Directors are elected annually and provided with their mandate to govern by paid members of the organization who entrust the appointments of key management and volunteer positions to the decisions of the board. The ThunderCon Board reflects its unique governance model by referring to its board members with less modern corporate styling, choosing instead to adopt the roles of a fantastical medieval court.
 
The ThunderCon Board consists of the following roles: 
Chair – combines the roles of Board Chair and Executive Director 
Secretary – combines the roles of Board Secretary and Vice-President 
Treasurer – combines the roles of Treasurer and Director of Finance 
At Large (x2) – combines the roles of Director and Operations Manager 
ex-Officio -  non-voting member of the Board, this role provides a means to transfer experience to voting directors and is appointed and confirmed through member election 

The 2023 Board is, as follows:
Chair – Linda Fogen Madsen 
Secretary – Krista Young
Treasurer – James Frizado 
At Large (x2) – Toller Madsen & Amanda Capar 
ex-Officio - Elise Frizado and Kevin Taylor

Reach the Board by emailing board@thundercon.org
