Hi Contributor Experience Folks,


2020 has brought about a ton of changes for everyone, myself included. One of those changes has been a new job at Square that has left me with less time than I'd like to dedicate to the community. After over 3 years as Co-Chair for this SIG, I think it’s time to let someone new take a turn as a chair.


After careful consideration, I’d like to nominate Jorge Castro to fill my role. Jorge has been a long time contributor to our SIG and has consistently stepped up when needed to fill key leadership roles in our subprojects. Jorge brings an enthusiasm for the community that I think is infectious and I have confidence that he would do a great job. We will discuss Jorge’s nomination at the next meeting, Wednesday, April 4th, 2020 at 09:30 PT. If approved, Jorge would assume the role of Co-Chair with Bob Killen then. If you agree with this nomination, please respond with +1s! If you have any questions or concerns about this nomination, please either respond to this thread, or reach out to myself, Bob, Christoph, or Nikhita privately.


It’s been such an honor working with y’all over the years, and I’m so incredibly proud of the work we’ve done. 


-Elsie

Thanks everyone for the support, and thanks to Elsie for keeping this rag tag band of people going in the same direction for so long!

And I really hope that we get to see you, at least a little, in your new
role.

I'll jump on the bandwagon here and add a +1 as well. It would be hard to think of a better person for the job than Jorge.

Thank you Elsie for all of the work you've done.

Elsie, thank you so much for everything that you've done for contribex over the years. Hope we'll still get to see you in meetings!

+1 for Jorge! Jorge has been an active member of contribex since a long time and I think he'd be an amazing chair. :)

Thank you for everything you've done for the project over the years, Elsie. Your consistent, level-headed leadership and positivity have put ContribEx in a fantastic trajectory for a long time to come.

I'm also +1 to Jorge. I think he'll make a great addition to the contribex leadership squad :)
