Election for The Carpentries’ Vision and 2019 Executive Council
The Carpentries will hold an election from December 3-7 for both the 2019 Executive Council as well as The Carpentries’ vision.
The Carpentries Executive Council is hosting two Community Calls this week (on Thursday/Friday depending on your time zone) to discuss the election. Two sessions will be held to accommodate our global community. Connection details are in the etherpad; please sign in if you plan to attend.
