Have we considered "grooming" folks via the committees? Seems like a better place to allow folks to dip their toes in. But maybe I'm too timid. ------- Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2017 10:59:32 -0700 From: Dave Temkin <dave@temk.in> To: members@nanog.org, "North American Network Operators' Group" <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Re: 2017 NANOG Elections General Information Message-ID: <CAFJiuFq1OegB5kra0aEiVoiDZfGKVECG=qNWwPS8S9DDh+b+6g@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi NANOG Community, Nominations are rapidly coming to a close - September 8th is the last day to submit nominees. Unfortunately, to follow up on my paragraph about diversity: So far, every single candidate that has completed the nomination process is a white male. Having sat in on sessions such as Women in Technology lunch, I know that this community is passionate about diversity. If you, or a friend, would like to discuss what it takes to be on the NANOG board, I or my colleagues would love to speak about it. If you're ready to enter the nomination process, you can see details below. Best Regards, -Dave Temkin, for the NANOG Board of Directors

Definitely! Most (maybe all?) of the current board members previously served on the Program Committee or one of the other committees before being elected to the board. Volunteering for a committee role is an excellent way to get started. The next round of PC nominations will start in early 2018. Steve
