Board elections are held annually; currently, each board seat is for one year, so all nine directorships are voted on annually. ASF Members are eligible to nominate people for board seats and to vote in the board election. Director candidates run individually, and Member votes are currently cast by Single Transferable Vote . All nominations, position statements, and voting are conducted electronically either over private mailing lists or using our own software for casting votes. Individual votes are kept anonymous, although the full STV calculations are published privately amongst the Membership. PMCs are expected to provide accurate and thorough reports to the board of their community health and technical and software release activities.

Since 1954, our team has been unified by our values, our commitment to building shareholder value, and our culture, which empowers every employee to make decisions and achieve the company’s goals. Our global team is brought together by a sense of ownership and the knowledge that the best answers win. We strive to deliver shareholder returns while helping to fulfill global energy needs and developing innovative, more sustainable ways to operate. We aim to be a community partner in our areas of operation, focused on protecting the safety and health of our employees, communities and the environment. Many Directors also serve in the public community as spokespeople for the Apache Way granting interviews about the ASF or our projects, or reviewing other open source or charitable foundation works.

Projects that do not report or have serious issues in their report will be contacted by that month's shepherd or another director to find a resolution. In extreme cases, where a PMC is dysfunctional or is not following required Apache policies, the board may unilaterally make changes to the PMC or may dissolve a project to correct the issue. Article V. of the ASF bylaws specifies a Board of nine Directors, elected annually by the ASF Membership. The Apache Board is much like the board of directors of any other corporation, responsible for -- management of the corporate assets and allocation of corporate resources to projects. The board exercises oversight of Apache Projects by reviewing project reports at the monthly board meeting, and by monitoring changes to PMC membership. When PMCs have voted in and nominated a new committer to serve on the PMC, they notify the board of the addition.
The Board of Directors sets overall policy for the Apache Software Foundation and delegates execution and specific policy areas to individual officers and Project Management Committees. Apache's insulation division meets the highest standards of quality and sets the bar in the industry. Utilizing both pin-lock and cup-lock type scaffolding systems, we design, install and dismantle scaffolding for any type of application.

Apache Corporation is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of APA and continues to hold assets in the U.S., subsidiaries in Egypt and the U.K., and economic interests in Altus Midstream Company and Altus Midstream LP.
All code donations from external organisations and existing external projects seeking to join the Apache community enter through the Incubator. Directors are expected to serve as individuals on the board, representing the Membership and acting in the best interests of the ASF as a whole. Directors are expected to disclose any conflicts of interest they may have due to their current employment, and recuse themselves when necessary from votes or potentially discussions on subjects they have a conflict with. For the first several years after incorporation the board was quite stable, with a majority continuing to serve repeatedly. As the ASF grew in membership around 2004, the board began to change somewhat, with a few new faces appearing each year.
The Industrial Services Leader
As part of the APA’s efforts to reduce emissions across our global operations, technical teams have identified projects... As part of APA’s efforts to reduce emissions across our global operations, technical teams have identified projects and opportunities... Our VISION is to be the premier exploration and production company, contributing to global progress by helping meet the world’s energy needs. While the bylaws allow for any person to be nominated for the board, the amount of trust and expected experience with the Apache Way for directors is such that nominees outside of the existing Membership are unlikely for the time being. Apache has a robust refractory services division with an experienced leadership team and front line managers that have worked together for more than 20 years. The Apache Incubator is the primary entry path into The Apache Software Foundation for projects and their communities wishing to become part of the Foundation’s efforts.
The normal monthly board agenda includes 10+ corporate officer reports, 60+ PMC reports, and often a handful of official resolutions. To ease the review process, reports are due well before the meeting begins, and many directors "preapprove" reports by initialing them in the agenda file before the meeting. Each PMC report is assigned a director to serve as "shepherd" for the month; the shepherd takes any questions raised before or during the meeting to the relevant officer or PMC for an answer or resolution.
All ASF Members and invited guests are welcome at board meetings, except during very rare executive sessions of the board. The board does set broad policies -- for example, requiring that projects use source control systems that run on ASF hardware controlled by ASF Infrastructure. Technical direction, in terms of how to implement infrastructure or what code projects should work on, is all delegated to the PMCs or relevant officers. From time to time Directors participate in the communities of various Apache projects when a board-level issue or question is raised; however they do so wearing their individual Director hat. Many Directors are separately committers or PMC members on a variety of Apache projects, where they do technical and community work just like any other committer, wearing a committer hat.
The appointement is official once the canonical PMC membership roster is updated to reflect the change. The pride that our customers experience every day is a reflection of the importance we place on our people, whose actions serve as the backbone of our operations. No other company in this industry recruits, trains and immerses their employees to become expert craftsmen like Apache Industrial Services.
Since our founding, our success has been through the talent, confidence and determination of our team. We hire the best people in the exploration and production business, we encourage them to innovate and question conventional boundaries, and we retain them through challenging and rewarding work. We believe energy underpins global progress, and we want to be a part of the conversation and solution as society works to meet growing global demand for reliable and affordable energy. Apache offers a complete package for tank maintenance, including cleaning, blasting, coatings & linings, and insulation. Apache Industrial Services offers the most complete and effective set of industrial services available for today’s market.
PMCs that report late or where serious questions are raised during the meeting may be asked to provide an additional report at the next monthly meeting. The board is responsible for appointing any officers of the ASF, including executive officers -- President, Secretary, Treasurer -- and other officers, both those with corporate functions , and Vice Presidents of individual Apache projects. The board also sets overall policy for Apache projects, or in many cases, delegates the details of policy setting and implementation to specific corporate officers. The board uses official resolutions to appoint or change officer positions, create new Top Level Projects or retire unused projects, and in certain cases to make fundamental policy decisions.
Jim Jagielski, one of the founders of the ASF, has remained on the board since its beginning. Whether you have an unplanned maintenance event or a scheduled out-of-service tank, Apache deploys the latest technologies and is your go-to contractor for all your tank maintenance needs including cleaning, blasting, coatings & linings, and insulation. With greater strength, better quality, and unmatched performance, our innovative technology is the next step in your concrete production process.

A list of the persons or entities excluded from the Classes can be found in the Notice of Proposed Settlement, which is available for download from the Important Documents page.
The selection of a new Board Chair and other executive officers typically takes place a couple of months after the board election, to give the new board a chance to get to know one another. Apache provides a single point of contact for refractory projects in the areas of system design support, cause of failure investigation, preplanning, project execution and QA/QC. Additionally, our fleet of equipment is the newest and highest rated in the industry, such as our Allentown Gunnite rigs which are regarded as the best in the industry. Each project is carefully planned by our subject matter experts, project managers, and our quality assurance and safety teams to ensure that all work is conducted in accordance with customer specifications and API standards.
