NANOG Community, I am excited to announce that 34 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, Jason Bothe, Stevan Plote, and Charles Rumford Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee Jon Eikel, Moira Johnson, Toni Kalombo, Tina Morris, and Yingzhen Qu Education Committee Hosein Badran and Paul Emmons Elections Committee Fearghas McKay and Chris Rogers Hackathon Committee Aaron Atac, Kate Gerry, Ryan Hamel, Toni Kalombo, Fearghas McKay, Dhairyasheel Patil, Aaron Roth, Charles Rumford, Steve Ulrich, and Chris Woodfield Mentorship Committee Jon Eikel, Darrell Newcomb, Ivo Pascucci, Justin Ryburn, Matt Petach, and Wendy Leedy Program Committee Nagendra Nainar, Krassimir Tzvetanov, John Brown, Elizabeth Culley, Kate Gerry, Alex Latzko, Fearghas McKay, Steve Meuse, Yingzhen Qu, Arul Sekar, Steve Ulrich, and Jeffrey Zhang We are truly excited to see what develops for NANOG over the next year working with these volunteers.
