Last week, Ward Burton announced he will serve on the Board of Directors for the WD-40 Fan Club.
WD-40 recently launched its search for seven lucky WD-40 Fan Club members to join Burton and other celebrities on its Fan Club Board of Directors. Those fanatical enough to be selected will serve as a voice for Fan Club members across the globe, test new products, and share a forum with Burton and others via a quarterly "board meeting" via email.
Last year, the WD-40 Fan Club was created as an outlet for die-hard WD-40 users. Now 41,000 members strong and still growing, the burgeoning Club is seeking leadership among its fan base. Once voted in, the new members will join well-known celebrities on the Board, including: Daytona 500-winning NASCAR driver Ward Burton; Linda Cobb, the self-appointed Queen of Clean®; and Jim and Tim, the Duct Tape Guys.
"It made perfect sense," said Burton of joining the Board. "I’ve loved the product for years and we’re partners now, so why not help represent the WD-40 fans who are so nuts about it?"
To nominate someone for a seat on the WD-40 Fan Club Board of Directors, visit http://fanclub.wd40.com (free to join) to download a nomination form. All nominations must be postmarked by April 6 and received by April 13.
The 20 nominees selected as candidates will be posted on the Fan Club web site and will be charged with driving friends, family and "constituents" to the web site to cast a vote in their favor.
