Board of Directors Elections 2017 - Candidacy - Nuritzi Sanchez

Name: Nuritzi Sanchez

Corporate affiliation: Endless

Hello Foundation members,

I'd like to announce my candidacy for a second term as a GNOME Foundation
Board member.

During the last term, I served as President and Chairperson of the Board.
As such, I helped run meetings effectively and make sure that we remained
focused and efficient both in and out of meetings. I also made the meetings
upbeat and inclusive, making sure that we leveraged all of the Board
members’ areas of expertise to help work on the various issues we dealt
with.


Like Allan, I also played a non-trivial role in hiring our new Executive
Director and helping to research our ability to hire a non-US employee
(previously we have only hired non-US contractors). I took the lead on
keeping the process moving forward and maintaining communication with all
parties involved. During this term, I also helped represent the Engagement
team’s voice at Board meetings and help the Board think about how our
policies affect our growth strategies. This resulted in beginning to change
our financial policies around how we approve budgets for small events.

This first year serving on the Board was an introduction to what kinds of
things the Board is usually tasked with and what is and isn’t possible. If
elected to a second term, I’m eager to spend the next year proactively
supporting the Project with a deeper understanding of what we can do to
help. I think we can do some great things especially around our financial
policies to help support growth, and I’m eager to carry that work on out.

Thank you for your consideration.


Best,
Nuritzi
