* StephenMichel -- I've been a little bit of a seatwarmer the past year, not doing much besides scheduling board meetings. I don't anticipate having substantially more time to put into the coop this year, but am happy to continue as a seatwarmer if a seat needs warming. For my more aspirational goals (if I somehow find more time), see my statement from running last year at [[Election2022]].

* rvbc --  Hello, world! I am a founding member of [[https://rvbc.coop/|River Valley Builder's Collective]], a residential construction worker cooperative that hosts its email and website with hcoop. We have been a part of hcoop for over a year now and I feel like its time for me to lend a hand in this community. Outside of RVBC I have lived in cooperative housing for for more than a decade and serve as the current treasurer of [[https://kalamazoo.coop|Kalamazoo Collective Housing]]. Outside of my interests of cooperatives, I am a carpenter, an avid ex-professional computer programmer / hardware hacker, a passionate Fellow Worker of the [[https://iww.org|IWW]], a musician, and a lover of camping, hiking, and backpacking. I am not exactly sure what role I could play within hcoop yet, but I would hope to be a positive and supportive board member who can help us identify and lean into our values as a web hosting cooperative. Solidary Forever.

* KevinEverets -- I've been a board member for many years (secretary for most, interim President for 1). Happy to continue to help contribute to the HCoop however I can. Primary concerns for me are membership levels (ensuring we continue to meet the needs of membership, and provide compelling reasons for new people), improving stability (many more server reboots needed in past year than in previous years), and improving documentation (helping users take the most advantage of the coop that they can).
