[Npoc-discuss] Nomination: NPOC colleague Caleb Ogundele for position of Chairperson, NPOC Membership Committee

Thu May 28 17:28:33 UTC 2020

Hi Caleb,

It was a pleasure working with you and I think you will make a great
Membership Chair, especially building on the experience of Communications
Chair.  Your work in letting members know about any issues, comments and
opportunities for participating fostered engagement.  NPOC membership has
increased and so becomes imperative that education and engagement increases
as well. In this role you will be a dynamic Chair.
Regards,
