Statement of Interest: The opportunity to coordinate IT&I activities in 2019 and 2020 was an honor and a great opportunity to engage with a broad community of IT professionals. Fast forward one global health pandemic and I’m excited to take the IT&I committee into the future. I’ve always valued understanding things at a level that allows me to build intuition for how they work, and I want to help bring that kind of understanding to the community. Having served out the last few months of the previous committee chair’s term, I’ve already got the committee moving in some new directions and am thrilled with the attendance and energy we’ve been able to bring already. I hope to continue this and grow engagement around developing more IT&I content for people to find and use after our webinars take place. | Statement of Interest: The opportunity to coordinate IT&I activities in 2019 and 2020 was an honor and a great opportunity to engage with a broad community of IT professionals.
