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.

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