Leaders,</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">I am honoured
to be a candidate for the <strong>2026 Chapters
Advisory Council (ChAC) Steering Committee</strong>.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">My motivation for serving on the ChAC Steering Committee</span></strong><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> stems from my
commitment to advancing <strong>digital
inclusion and Internet governance</strong> across communities. Through
my experience as <strong>Vice President and Public Relations Board
Member of the Internet Society Botswana Chapter</strong>, I have led
national digital literacy initiatives, contributed to policy dialogues on cloud
computing and 4IR, and fostered stakeholder collaboration to bridge
connectivity gaps. I believe the ChAC provides a vital platform to strengthen
the global chapter ecosystem—enhancing knowledge exchange, chapter empowerment,
and sustainable impact in line with ISOC’s mission.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">My vision for the ChAC and chapter community by the end of 2026</span></strong><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> is to see a
more <strong>operationally mature, collaborative, and data-driven network of
chapters</strong>. I would like to see chapters equipped with practical
support frameworks that enhance project delivery, promote inter-chapter
collaboration, and ensure measurable community outcomes. By prioritizing
capacity building, transparency, and stronger cross-regional cooperation, I
envision the ChAC becoming a dynamic platform that empowers chapters to lead
Internet growth and governance discussions locally and globally.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Thank you for
your continued engagement and for fostering a strong chapter community. I look
forward to collaborating with you to advance our shared vision of an open,
globally connected, and secure Internet for all.</span></p>
