Why I would like to be elected to the Global OWASP Foundation Board of Directors

I love OWASP and everything that it offers to the world of appsec and infosec globally. There are some brilliant minds, determined, diligent and genuinely caring folks at OWASP. There is plenty of discord and disagreement, but for the most part it is constructive.

I want to be able to give back to an organization that is maturing, seemingly reaching a turning point, and has been affected by recent loss. I care and want to be able to help in the most professional and diplomatic way possible. I think focusing on training and outreach is pivotal to accomplishing this goal and this is what I want to concentrate on.
