2025 NANOG Committee Appointments
by Valerie Wittkop 10 Feb '25

10 Feb '25

NANOG Community, I am excited to announce that 43 NANOG members accepted appointments to a committee. So many highly-qualified volunteers from the NANOG membership were nominated for this year’s committee selection, and we personally thank each NANOG member who offered their time. As an organization, NANOG was founded by volunteers who developed a quality forum for North America’s operator community. Despite the growth in NANOG’s programs, volunteers greatly outnumber professional staff. The volunteer-only committees drive many of the ideas for growth and development in the organization and community as a whole. Please join me in congratulating the appointed committee members: *Audit Committee* Tom Beecher, Tim Burke, and Marlin Martes *Community Engagement Committee* Kate Gerry, T. Marc Jones, Darren Kara, Marlin Martes, Giulia Reading, Larissa Santos, Kelly Sieben, Clara Wade, and Les Williams *Elections Committee* Frank Basso, Tom Beecher, Dave Friant, Courtney Hooglander, Tony Tauber, and Michael Voity *Hackathon Committee* Barrie Cook and Saim Khan *Mentorship Committee* Hosein Badran and Alex Latzko *Moderation Committee* Tim Burke, Kate Gerry, Ryan Hamel, Jeremy Johns, and Darren Kara *Program Committee* Naveen Achyuta, Jeff Bartig, Phil Bedard, Nick Bogle, Daniel Chioreanu, Mikael Holmberg, Tom Kacprzynski, Nimrod Levy, Michael Long, Sergey Myasoedov, Tim Nowaczyk, Adair Thaxton, Krassi Tzvetanov, Les Williams, Ron Winward, and Chris Woodfield *Workshop Committee* Jeff Bartig, Yolandi Cloete, John Kristoff, Fearghas McKay, Stevan Plote, Saju Salahudeen, Steve Ulrich, and Clara Wade We are truly excited to see what develops for NANOG over the next year working with these volunteers. Please also join me in thanking and recognizing the many contributions of committee alumni who have termed out: *Audit Committee* Charles Rumford *Community Engagement Committee* Stephen Hartmen, Louie Lee, Alejandro Silvestre, and Akeyla Wallace *Education Committee* Alex Bortok, Ron Kovac, and Reddy Urmindi *Elections Committee* Leif Sawyer *Hackathon Committee* Kate Gerry, Toni Kalombo, Dhairyasheel Patil, and Charles Rumford *Program Committee* Alex Latzko, Nagendra Nainar, Stevan Plote, and Michael Voity Volunteer participation from these members on NANOG committees developed new programs, brought new ideas and new methods into practice, and helped to evolve the NANOG organization. We would not be where we are without their time and contributions. We look forward to continuing working together to build the Internet of tomorrow, and hope to see you at a NANOG conference soon! Sincerely, Valerie Wittkop (On behalf of the NANOG Board of Directors) Valerie Wittkop Program Directorvwittkop(a)nanog.org | www.nanog.org NANOG | 305 E.
