The Drupal Association is saying goodbye to three board members and welcoming four new members who will join the Drupal Association Board.
First off, the Drupal Association extends a sincere thank you to Mike Herchel, Ryan Szrama, and Board Chair Baddý Sonja Breidert for their service and dedication not only to Drupal but to the Drupal community. Thank you for everything you have done while on the Drupal Association Board! Your time spent on the board made such a difference to the future of the Drupal project, and we thank you all for participating with grace, thoughtfulness, and insightful contributions.
We are also excited to announce that Baddý will continue as a non-voting Immediate Past Chair on the Executive Committee for one year.
The Drupal Association would now like to congratulate our newest board members, officially announced during the recent public board meeting at DrupalCon Lille:
An additional congratulations to Fei Lauren for winning the community-elected seat during our 2023 At-Large Board Election!
