As an ambassador, Jen has left an indelible mark on our project and our community. She was instrumental in crafting several documents vital to both our community identity and our ongoing work today—including the Open Organization Definition and Maturity Model. Her work is speckled throughout our book series, and she penned the introduction to the second edition of our Leaders Manual. And she has always served as an impassioned voice of our community, speaking at events across the world and bringing our work to receptive audiences in accessible and inviting ways.
Your contribution is immense and your vision - solid on what makes a healthy community. The video channel and much more would not have happened without you.
