I have contributed to numerous online training <br /> resources around Web technology, as well as doing lectures, and started the W3C s education <br /> site WebPlatform.org. I have served on the Technical Advisory Board of Durham Tech (of which <br /> I m an alumnus)for several years. I work for the primary Web standards organization, W3C, and <br /> have substantial experience in serving on and leading committees to goal-oriented outcomes. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> Education and clear explanation is a critical aspect of our society, and I want to contribute to the <br /> diversity of approaches that serve that need. Increasingly, technology intersects our lives and <br /> our education, and I feel I have insight to contribute there. <br /> On a personal note, I m interested in civic engagement, and want more experience in working <br /> with governmental committees. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br />
