Last but not the least, Megan their Executive Director needs a special mention. She has been an inspiration, great team builder and an amazing leader. She has been working closely with the staff to transition many changes in the last 6 months. I truly admire her execution focus, passion for Drupal and the Drupal community.
What has been amazing is that though each staff has a specific role, in the last 6 months they have worked together beyond their stated roles to make Drupal Association meet their goals! Do follow the work of the Association as they publish them at https://assoc.drupal.org/news, share your views and encouragement!
Thank you Megan and all the Association staff for all the hard work!
