The board will meet a couple of times a year for highly collaborative sessions; it will also stay connected virtually throughout the year through a mixture of one-on-one and group conversations, as well as Voxpopme video surveys. 

“We know how important it is to regularly talk to industry leaders outside our company to get the right perspectives to the table,” said Dave Carruthers, Voxpopme chief executive and co-founder.
