The directory nesting is unnecessary here and confusing to navigate. I've moved all apps to the project subdirectory, currently called "www", but soon to be renamed "conservancy". I've also moved manage.py to the top-level directory.

<h1>Directors</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>Like many non-profits, Conservancy is directed by a
|
||
self-perpetuating Board of Directors, who
|
||
appoint the <a href="/about/staff/">Executive Director and staff</a> to carry out the
|
||
day-to-day operations of the organization. The Directorship of the
|
||
Conservancy includes both talented non-profit managers and experienced
|
||
FLOSS project leaders who can both guide the administrative operations of
|
||
the organization as well as mentor member project leaders as needed. Our
|
||
Directors constantly search for additional directors who can contribute a
|
||
variety of expertise and perspective related to the Conservancy's
|
||
mission.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Currently, the directors of Conservancy are:</p>
