Ashton Elder
Director
1-year term

Chef at high-end restaurants. Ashton brings to the Board the perspective of working people and everyday life — an essential voice in building governance that works for everyone, not just those already in positions of power. Good governance must be legible and beneficial to ordinary people. That is Ashton's mandate on this Board.

All Board positions are currently volunteer; SGS intends to transition to compensated roles as funding permits. Social Governance System Inc. is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 37-2242016).
