OWASP Connector May 2019 Communications | Projects | Events | Community | Membership COMMUNICATIONS Letter from the Vice Chairman: Dear OWASP Community, Since last month the foundation has been busy working towards enabling our project leaders and community members to utilize funds to work on nurturing and developing projects. So far there has been huge uptake on this initiative. It's great to see so many people passionate about collaborating at project summits.    Our Global AppSec Tel-Aviv is nearly upon us, for members, there is an extra incentive for attending this conference, in the form of a significant discount. This and the sandy beaches and beautiful scenery, not to mention the great speakers and trainers we have lined up, is a great reason to attend. If you have not done so we would encourage you to attend this great conference - https://telaviv.appsecglobal.org.   One of the key things I've noticed in my Board of Director tenure is the passion our community emits, sometimes this passion aids in growing the foundation, but sometimes it also forces us to take a step back and look at how we do things within the foundation. With Mike, our ED and staff we have seen a lot of good change from an operations perspective, with more in the pipeline. Mike's appointment has allowed the Board of Directors to take a step back from operations and enable us to work on more strategic goals. To this end at a recent Board meeting we discussed each Board member taking up one of the following strategic goals, as set out at the start of the year:   1.Marketing the OWASP brand  2.Membership benefits 3.Developer outreach Improve benefits  Decrease the possibility of OWASP losing relevance Reaching out to management and Risk levels Increase involvement in new tech/ ways of doing things – dev ops   4.Project focus  Get Universities involved Practicum sponsored ideas Internships    5.Improve finances 6.Improve OWAP/ Board of Directors Perception 7.Process improvement 8. Get consistent ED 9.Community empowerment   I would encourage the community to come forward if you have any ideas on the above and are happy to work with one of the 7 Board of Directors and community members on one of these initiatives.    Thanks and best wishes,  Owen Pendlebury Vice Chair OWASP FOUNDATION UPDATE FROM INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: OWASP Foundation welcomes aboard Emily Berman as Events Director.
