+I am nominating myself for the position of the OpenStack Technical Committee
+(TC) Chair for 2024.2. As a first time TC member, the strengths I can bring to
+this role are my fresh perspective, ideas, and dedication towards this
+community's ideals.
+
+I firmly believe in consensus building, and hugely value the
+diversity of thought and opinion that have shaped OpenStack for the past ~15
+years. So, as a chair, I will strive to have all voices be heard, and foster
+discussions without pride or prejudice.
+
+We thrive through many changes in the technology we seek to define in a huge
+part due to stable governance. I wish to uphold this while I execute `the
+duties <https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/tc-chair-responsibilities.html>`_
+required of the TC chair.
+
+Thank you for your consideration!
