What are your specific goals for the role?
If I were President, aside from leading the weekly member meetings (Justin's shoes will be difficult to fill), I look forward to learning about conflict resolution. I'd hope to help nurture an open and inclusive environment, where the softest voice has an equal opportunity to be heard. Since we are completely volunteer driven, I also hope to work on distributing the technical and emotional labor of a growing membership. I feel they are both equally important to the continued success of PS1. I would like for us to continue to make cool stuff, teach each other to make cool stuff, get more cool stuff to make even more cool stuff. These are things I am interested in happening as a member, regardless if I am on the board. Honestly, I wasn't seeking to be on the board, but with the current state of our country, it's time to put my money where my mouth is and get involved at the local level. I'd be more than happy to bow out if anyone else wants to take a stab at it. In the end, I'm here for the community.

I would like to accept the nomination for President and would like to thank you for the vote of confidence. I greatly enjoy and appreciate being the CNC area host and getting to participate in all the changes and challenges that have been going on in the last year around the space. I believe I can bring that same enthusiasm and drive to the role of President. I’m also very pleased with the precedent the last board has set as well as what all the other nominees have said of their own roles. I look forward to achieving those goals and working alongside them.
There are a few things that I would like to work towards if I am elected as president (and would further encourage discussion and action on the following topics regardless of my role within the organization). For the most part, these topics have all are being discussed in other threads on the google group, so I won’t go into too much detail but to say that they are on my agenda:
•Continue the bylaws, DRC, and membership agreement work in progress
•Increase member engagement and outreach
•Improve new member onboarding and orientation
•Improve internal and external organizational communication
As for the state of the CNC area: It has come a long way in the last few months, getting better equipment and infrastructure, and I think that the new dedicated space will greatly improve the overall experience. There is still much that needs to be done and I would still like to play a part in working on the area alongside a new CNC area host, also distributing relevant information/knowledge and maintenance tasks.
PS1 is an amazing and unique place, and has made great strides in the last year towards accommodating more people and enabling more exciting and interesting projects to take place. I'm excited help grow our community in a healthy and productive way, regardless of my position this year.
