We're excited to share another week of news & ideas with our MAiZE family. There never seems to be a shortage of ideas and the truth is that some of the best originate with all of you! So, if you ever have an idea you'd like us to pass along to the group, please just send it our way. Also, please remember that we'll be archiving these ideas on the siteowner web site, so that you can go back and view them whenever you like.

Time To Submit Your Maze Designs |
 If you haven't already submitted your design concept for this year's maze, now is the time to start thinking about your new design. If you don't have a design in mind, we encourage you to search our design directory in the private online toolbox for MAIZE members to view past designs. The toolbox has been redesigned since last year and requires new login info. If you have any trouble with that, please email kamille@themaize.com
Additionally, here are a few anniversary dates being celebrated in 2015 that might give you more ideas for a design...

2015 Advisory Board Members |
We wanted to thank everyone who nominated themselves, or someone else, to serve on this year's Advisory Board. There were many more nominations than we anticipated and we tried our hardest to select a board that gives an opportunity for new folks to serve...while spreading them out across the U.S. and including a diversity of knowledge and experience. For those who might have nominated themselves and aren't on this year's board, we will have another nomination process next year so we can spread out the opportunity to as many as possible. Below are this year's board members:
- Kama Bozeman, Texas
- Susan Seward, Mississippi
- Kaity Siegel, Illinois
- Steve Severe, Montana
- Justin Wendzel, Michigan
Many many thanks to the following board members who retired off of last year's board: Donald Courville, Laurie Graff, Diane Bruinsma and Sherrie Staheli.

 We are excited to introduce Amy Donaldson as the newest full-time member of our staff. Amy will be assisting with a variety of office projects and grew up on her family farm in the small town of Wanship, Utah.
She loves being outdoors, whether it’s riding her horses, dirt bike or just camping with the family. She also enjoys working with animals, which led to her getting a degree in Animal Science at Utah State University. She later received her Veterinary Technology Degree and was most recently working for a vet clinic before joining our staff this past month. Please join us in welcoming Amy!

 We also just wanted to let everyone know that Logan Bench, though still working with The MAiZE on the same projects he always has, is now technically an independent contractor who will work from his home office.
You can still reach him anytime you need to via his same direct phone number and email address.
