By Jacob Pleasants, Dan Krutka, & Marie Heath
Civics of Technology is a community, one that has been incredible to see grow and develop over the past few years. From blog posts to curriculum, book clubs to conference presentations, we are deeply grateful to all who engage with Civics of Tech for what they contribute to our community as scholars, professionals, citizens, and people.
In recognition of that growth, we thought it was time to establish more formal roles in our organization, both to encourage long-term sustainability and to recognize the labors and energy of regular contributors.
First, Jacob will be joining Marie and Dan as one of the Civics of Technology Executive Directors.
Second, we have a team of wonderful colleagues who will join us as members of the Civics of Technology Board (you can see their full bios on the About Us page of our site).
Please Welcome the Civics of Technology Board!

In practical terms, what does this mean for Civics of Technology? Primarily, you can expect to see contributions from our board members on a more regular basis. That might be in the form of our existing content/events (e.g., blog posts and book clubs). Or it might be new ideas for engagement that our board members dream up. We are truly grateful for the energy and passion that our board members bring, and are excited to see where things go from here.
So, give a shout out to our board members, and keep an eye out for their bylines, Zoom squares, and voices in the months to come.
