Hello wonderful GCB,

A key action from last meeting -

We need a new chair! I took the liberty of writing up the responsibilities & information about being a chair (including a handy chair checklist to reduce mental load). 

• ⭐️ If you’d like to be a chair, please let me know ASAP!
• The Galaxy Executive Board is currently polling for best meeting times, so the sooner we have a Wendi-replacement, the better!

1 - Wendi is leaving 😭

I am very sad to say that after 5 super fun years of Galaxy, I am leaving (for a very cool new job starting April 14 with Health Data Research - UK!). I’ve had an absolute blast getting to know you and trying to navigate the complex Galaxy ecosystem, with cool people and fun problems and a soul-fulfilling remit. Without getting too soppy, onto logistics - We need a new chair! I took the liberty of writing up the responsibilities & information about being a chair (including a handy chair checklist to reduce mental load). 

• ⭐️ If you’d like to be a chair, please let me know by April 1st, 2025.
