I’m interested in being team repTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts. because it’s one way I can help the team. My job gives me the opportunity to take on extra duties without having as big of an impact on the rest of my life.

My focus for 2023 would be contributor growth and retention. I’d like to:
- continue to improve onboarding so that we remove barriers to participation.
- build on what Sam and Megan have started to increase the fun, productive atmosphere inside the Community Team that makes people want to stay.
- work toward a more robust mentorEvent Supporter Event Supporter (formerly Mentor) is someone who has already organised a WordCamp and has time to meet with their assigned mentee every 2 weeks, they talk over where they should be in their timeline, help them to identify their issues, and also identify solutions for their issues. program that can carry us into the future.

Being able to contribute in 2023 as a Community team repTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts. would not only be an honour but a role I would take deeply to heart.

The opportunity falls strongly within both my passion and my skillset with which I work heavily with each day in my regular role and have experience in representative/leadership like roles in the past.

I understand that WordPress and its community are extremely agile and flexible and believe that the Goals and Missions will likely be similar; being adjusted, augmented, or changing and — and adjusting to these needs efficiently is where I may excel.

I work extremely well with partners or teams, and with whomever else gets chosen as a team rep with myself, I will strive to support them and the many projects we have as diligently and mindfully as possible.

While I know its important to work well within my team, I am an effective and proficient communicator between teams and will work to do the same between the many contributor teams in the WordPress ecosystem.

All of this to say that if I were one of those selected for the responsibility of the Community Team Rep role; I will do it to the best of my ability.

I also know that all of the nominees are excellent choices for team rep and would do an excellent job helping and supporting the team and the community it serves — all of the best to everyone.

Thanks for the recommendation. I am very honored😊
Personally I am not good at English and that worries me. I will need a lot of help. I think that what I have a language barrier is also a barrier for others, so on a positive note it may promote diversity in the WordPress community team.

I am interested in supporting in-person WordPress events and increasing deputiesProgram Supporter Community Program Supporters (formerly Deputies) are a team of people worldwide who review WordCamp and Meetup applications, interview lead organizers, and keep things moving at WordCamp Central. Find more about program supporters in our Program Supporter Handbook. and mentorsEvent Supporter Event Supporter (formerly Mentor) is someone who has already organised a WordCamp and has time to meet with their assigned mentee every 2 weeks, they talk over where they should be in their timeline, help them to identify their issues, and also identify solutions for their issues..
I feel that this goes both ways, and the fewer WordCamps and MeetupsMeetup Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month). Learn more about Meetups in our Meetup Organizer Handbook. there are, the fewer people will have experience with community events, and the fewer people will be able to be mentors and deputies.
I feel that next year is an important year to re-invigorate the community in a world with covid-19.
