7 years ago @GretchenLynd there's not actually a separate Board of Directors page with bios & whatnot AFAIK. We just list them on the About page:
Submitting a PR to update the list but perhaps we should create a new issue if we need to make a separate page for BOD and/or if we should list them with headshots & bios on the About page like we do the HQ team (in which case we would need headshots & bios for Alanna Gombert & Cara Jo or whom ever takes the CL Board position).
