Ignite Board of Directors

The board's main responsibility is to foster the long-term success of the Corporation consistent with its fiduciary responsibility to the stakeholders to maximize stakeholder value.

Although Directors are nominated by selected nominators to bring special expertise or a point of view to Board deliberations, they must recognize that the best interest of Ignite, and therefore of the stakeholders, is paramount always. The Board of Directors is called upon to develop and oversee governance of the business and to provide strategic leadership and mentoring. Our engaged board works collaboratively to act in the best long-term interests of Ignite through informed decision-making, a broad knowledge base and an inclusive perspective.
