I've received the GitHub username and a picture from each of the new members. I will add all new Council members to the repo tomorrow, and I will also create a PR for the leadership page this week.

[MichaelKohler]

All new Council members now have write permission on this repo (they need to accept the invite). Additionally I've created the Leadership update PR: https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/pull/8776

[MichaelKohler]

Leadership page is updated: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/leadership/#reps-council

[Timmaks]

And the portal?

[couci]

Portal also updated (both community and reps portal). Old council members will remain in the matrix channel for giving the new council members advice

[ioana-chiorean]

Anything else to be done here?

[MichaelKohler]

@couci is there a blog post planned?
