The Drupal Association would like to congratulate our newest At-Large board member:

Nikki Flores 

When accepting her position, Nikki shared: “I am so grateful and feel truly honored for the opportunity to serve as your At-Large Board Member, and I pledge to bring all of my skills and talents to the role. For the next two years I’ll plan to work closely with the other board members, the association staff, the community, and all of you to make as many incremental improvements as possible. Part of the reason why I submitted my nomination is to make sure that people know that even without tremendous prior Drupal experience, it is still possible to make a measurable difference. I encourage you to help me and help our community — and the code that helps all of our projects move forward — by getting involved at www.drupal.org/community. You belong to the Drupal community.”
