The Node.js +Foundation Individual Director is the Node.js project’s community voice on the +board. There are two individual directors that sit on the Node.js Foundation +board and they serve a two-year term. + +>> “Having the community represented is extremely important for open source +projects with a Board of Directors as diverse as ours. This gives the community +a voice on the board and helps to guide how we make the investment decisions. +The individual board members are able to provide feedback on how proposed board +items might impact the community and can provide suggestions on how the Node.js +Foundation can better support the community. With this knowledge and feedback, +the board is able to contribute the resources the community needs to stay +healthy and continue to grow.” + +>> *Todd Moore, Node.js Foundation Director* + +The Individual Membership Director is responsible for soliciting feedback and +data that represents the wishes of other individual members and the community at +large. They have been entrusted with the duty to make decisions based on the +information they receive to best represent the community, and can gather input +for proposals when relevant and granted permission to do so. + +This includes participating and voting in Board meetings, introducing and +driving forward initiatives to conclusion that capture the mission of the +Node.js project, and representing the Board at speaking engagements (this is by +no means a comprehensive list).
