Charel

I joined Quelab in 2012 and served as officer and director since 2014 a​nd founding director of ABQ Maker Faire. My making has been more arts than tech everything from ​hand drums, ​sacred masks, altars, worked with gourds and various mixed media pieces to workshops and events​, concerts, recording engineer and producer & my cloths since high school.​ My focus is on building our maker community at Quelab. While looking to where you want Quelab to be a year or five years from now.

Craig

Craig Goldsmith (aka “Zoot”) is a designer, coder, maker and trained philosopher. He is a core organizer of Albuquerque Mini Maker Faire and board member of the same organization since Autumn 2013.

A full member of Quelab since May 2014, he has also served on the Quelab Board of Directors since February of 2016, and is the current asercutter officer.

He seeks to maintain and enhance Quelab's stature as a member-driven makerspace, and that Quelab continues to be utterly responsive to the economic and practical needs of its members: consensus decision-making, non-draconian policies, unfettered access to the space.

Jack

My name is Jack Gilster I've been a member for 10 months I'd wish to be a part of the board because I spend good majority of my time here and I've been waiting for a place like this all my life. I think if I was a part of the board I would be able to help make decisions that benefit new members and the community at large. Including bringing in students who could benefit from the existing equipment and makers of my and new generations that need this place to see there dream become reality.

Rebecca

Quelab member since 2011, officer since December 2014, in maker community for longer, co-chairing Albuquerque Dorkbot (maker discussion group) and attending Maker Faire in San Francisco. I'm a very eclectic maker who likes to learn new skills, sampling electronics, darkroom photography, brazing, fiber arts, glass, laser cutting, ceramics, machine shop, and most recently 3d printing. What I love about Quelab is that we are not just a place to make things but also a community of makers! I've learned so much from everyone at Quelab, if elected I will work to bring classes back to Quelab and host events where members can show their projects.
