Secretary (Replacement)

Your Recommendations

Angie has always been very helpful in the community, kind and more - I think she will be an asset to the Board in this role. - Emmanuel Lemor

I would like to warmly recommend Angie for the Secretary position. I have known her for many years. In fact, she was one of the very first persons who I met at my first JoomlaDay 2012 in Berlin. For many more years, she has continuously supported our community with her deep accessibility knowledge, her calm and thoughtful way of working and her strong commitment to open source values. She has always been reliable, respectful and ready to help whenever needed. I highly value her integrity and her long-standing dedication to Joomla. I am very happy that she now wants to support the community in this important role. I fully support her application. - Sigrid Gramlinger

Angie has been around in our community for quite a while now. She knows Joomla and its community. She is thorough, determined and committed and on top of that she's also very diplomatic and discreet, exactly the kind of qualities a good secretary needs. - Anja de Crom
