## What I'll do
47+
48+
Over my years on the project, I've seen that so much can be achieved when we

invest in delivering project-wide process improvements.
50+
51+
My single biggest goal is to **_reduce/remove friction in contributing to Kubernetes._**
52+
53+
We still have plenty of work to do here:
54+
55+
- Removing interrupts to allow SIG Chairs / Technical Leads to do more effective work
56+
- Increasing our reviewers/approvers across component areas
57+
- Continuing the SIG/WG Annual Report to identify improvements for all governance groups
58+
- Nurturing efforts that support underrepresented / marginalized groups in technology
59+
- Encouraging the growth of new project leaders, through both example and active mentorship
