A few weeks ago, we invited community members who were interested in serving as team representatives to submit nominations. Individuals were welcome to nominate themselves or recommend someone they felt would be a great fit for the role.
The post received many nomination comments, with several highlighting individuals who will serve as the 2025 team representatives. After discussions with both past and current team reps, we finalized the team representatives for 2026. If anyone is interested in taking ownership of a specific area, please reach out in the channel to start a conversation.
Additional support is always appreciated—the more help the representatives receive, the more they are able to accomplish.
Please join me in congratulating them and wishing them every success in their upcoming term.
