11	11	OSI's mission lines up well with my own experience. I bring to the table specific experience in these three focus areas:

13		-
14	14	* Education and Outreach. OSI has already worked diligently at educating and supporting its own communities as well as reaching out to new audiences to enrich the open source ecosystem. It should continue to focus heavily there. I have worked extensively in education and outreach around open source for over 8 years and can foster that ongoing work as a board member.
15	15	* Fundraising and Memberships. OSI's membership base is healthy, and should continue to grow. I feel fundraising and membership work in the future should build on that strong base and continue to extend its arms to new groups and audiences. I managed the world's most respected philanthropic program in open source for 6 years and know how to bring together the ideals of free software and the funding.
16	16	* New Programs and Initiatives. OSI has been involved in many important initiatives in the past with the community, businesses, and individuals. The OSI Incubator Program as well as its involvement with the Open Source Survey are two such examples. OSI should continue to identify programs and initiatives that help user groups work better and thrive. I have successfully managed everything from small, topical meet-ups to large-scale, worldwide programs in open source and want to help OSI do the same.
