Staff

We’re a community-led, volunteer-run meetup organization.

Our volunteers represent our principles of belonging, safety, and trust.

We come from different backgrounds: education, customer services, sales, marketing, radio, coding boot amps, 4-year degrees, dropouts, etc.

We champion our principles and adhere to the Code of Conduct.
