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.

=== Vice President ===
Jennie Plasterer - Accepted
The role of vice president is in many ways a support role and the details of this are uniquely cued to the dynamic of each president and VP. A lot of the responsibilities of a VP are shared with the president, designed to ease the pressure and preserve the sanity (and the ability to have a life outside of PS:1) of the president. But I think one of the lovely things about the Board of Directors as a whole is the element of fluidity; past the bare-bone outline of the bylaws, you come to understand the strengths, weaknesses, and preferences of fellow board members so I think there is an element of nuance that changes with each new board, ideally, as you communicate with each other to make sure everything is getting done.
This year, I would like to put a lot of thought into doing PS:1 scholarships in a way that benefits both PS:1 and the greater Chicago community. I have talked a little about this with Lauren, who works for JARC, an organization which provides skills training for low-income and unemployed workers. In that same vein, there are a lot of great communities of artists, engineers, craftspeople, interesting humanoids, etc. around the Chicago area and I would like to work on collaboration and cross-advertising, hopefully inciting some exciting new events and attendees.
I learned a ton last year, and if elected, I feel very excited about the prospect of coming into this year comfortable in my role and ready to finish a lot of projects from last year, seeing through the completion of the build out, the new bylaws, and a slew of new thoughts on member on-boarding and integration.
