-No bio submitted yet.+Many members met me at orientation as I am one of the registration stewards. I have been a Quelab member for four years and a steward for two. I was involved in co-creating the aviation area and wrote a grant for Quelab and aviation that PNM funded. I served on the committees for new building and finance during the move, have attended Quelab board meetings and have volunteered over a hundred hours. I am certified in wood, welding, machine shop, laser, CNC, bike shop and fiber arts (though I could use a refresher). I have taught classes at universities and three different makerspaces including Quelab. I was a member of The Hacktory (Philadelphia), an advisory board member of The Department of Making and Doing (Philadelphia), member and laser steward at All Hands Active! (Ann Arbor) and member of Makerspace Leipzig (Germany).

 +The last several Quelab boards have done a fantastic job of extremely ambitious projects, and made a hard act to follow. I would be honored to join. As a board member, I would hope to contribute to accounting, transparency, systems integration, and decentralizing Quelab's authority from "the board" to "the stewards". I think the biggest issues facing Quelab in the next two years are getting building systems complete and online, scaling to increased usage and more members, and improving functionality while preserving what we love about our unique culture and community.

 Hello, my name is Tetris, and I’ve been a member of Quelab for over two years. During that time, I served on the committee that secured our new building, helped coordinate the move, and led the transformation of the Fiber Arts area into a growing, multifunctional creative space. Hello, my name is Tetris, and I’ve been a member of Quelab for over two years.
