It’s time again to nominate the next round of Training Team Reps. (For a quick refresher of Team RepTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts. roles across the WordPress project, see the [Team Reps post on Team Updates](https://make.wordpress.org/updates/team-reps/).) **Summary: The team is looking for two more people to join [@digitalchild](https://profiles.wordpress.org/digitalchild/) in the Training Team Rep role next year.** ## The Role Training Team Reps serve for approximately 2 consecutive years, using the first year to get familiar and the second to train the incoming reps. You can read more about the Training Team Rep’s role [in the team handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/about/team-roles/team-rep/). ## Details of 2025’s openings The Training Team strives to have three team representatives at a time in order to ensure redundancy and diverse opinions in leadership. This year, [@piyopiyofox](https://profiles.wordpress.org/piyopiyofox/) and [@kaitohm](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kaitohm/) conclude their two year terms and will be stepping down from the role. [@lada7042](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lada7042/) is also stepping down due to personal reasons. [@digitalchild](https://profiles.wordpress.org/digitalchild/) stepped in as Interim Team rep [in June this year](https://make.wordpress.org/training/2024/06/04/meet-2024-interim-co-rep-jamie-madden/) and has successfully co-led the the team during the temporary absence of other reps. For continuity’s sake, we’ve asked Jamie to continue on as team rep into 2025 and he has happily accepted! Thank you for being available to serve the team for another year, Jamie. **Therefore, the team is looking for two more people to join Jamie in the Training Team Rep role next year.** ## Timeline for Training Team Rep Selection We will follow the process [documented in the team handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/training-team-how-to-guides/team-roles/team-rep/#training-team-representative-nomination-process). ### Step 1: Call for Nominations Anyone can nominate a Training Team Rep.

It’s time again to nominate the next round of Training Team Reps. (For a quick refresher of Team RepTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts. roles across the WordPress project, see the [Team Reps post on Team Updates](https://make.wordpress.org/updates/team-reps/).) ## The Role Historically, with the Training team, the team rep duration was around two years, and we had three reps at the time. They represent the team, collaborate with other teams, raise, manage, and address any issues. The time commitment in the role has averaged two to five hours per week. The Training team has recently updated its documentation, clarifying the team rep role’s responsibilities. Please take a moment to read the [handbook page “Team Rep (Representative)](https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/training-team-how-to-guides/team-roles/team-rep/).” ## Clarifications to the Training Team’s Reps Structure The mechanics of Team Reps vary from team to team. Each team will choose a selection process, the number of years of service, etc., that best serves the team’s needs. In the handbook updates, this year’s Team Reps ( Benjamin Evans, Destiny Kanno, and Pooja Derashri ) clarified the following points regarding the team rep role. These were things the team had been doing for a while but weren’t well documented: 1. The team strives to have 3 team reps representing diversity, as evaluated through the [Team Values](https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/about/team-values/). 2. Team Reps generally serve for 2 consecutive years, using the first year to get familiar and the second to train the incoming rep(s). We also clarified with the Training Team Faculty members that with this 2 year guideline, Benjamin Evans and Destiny Kanno will automatically stay on as Team Reps for 2024. ## Timeline for Training Team Rep Selection We will follow the process [documented in the team handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/training-team-how-to-guides/team-roles/team-rep/#training-team-representative-nomination-process). ### Step 1: Call for Nominations Anyone can nominate a Training team rep!

Note that this is Pooja’s second year in the role, and is not eligible for reelection next year. Since **Benjamin Evans** and **Destiny** **Kanno** will be staying on to complete their second year and onboard the newest Training Team Representative,** only one Team Rep spot will be filled for 2024.** * Nomination Opens: 23 October 2023 * Nomination Closes: 14 November 2023 Team reps will confirm each person nominated meets [the vetting criteria](https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/training-team-how-to-guides/team-roles/team-rep/#nominee-vetting-process) at our weekly meeting on November 16th.
