You may not know this, but the kLab is run by an all volunteer board which helps guide the long term vision of the space. To this day, the board has been composed of the founding members of the kLab, each having contributed significantly towards making the space a reality. These members sacrificed a great deal to bring the kLab to where it is today, but the time has come for some of us to step down to make space for new ideas, energy and innovation.

Four board seats are coming up for reelection in the next month and I'd love to see some new blood on the board, which is why I am stepping down. We are looking for candidates who have been active in the kLab community, who are well known to that community, and who are ready to volunteer significant time to bring kLab to the next level.

If you are passionate about making the kLab better there is no better way to volunteer your time. But we want doers, not talkers. You must be committed to putting in the time and work to make real change. Board positions are unpaid and come with no benefits except for the pride in being part of one of the biggest stories in Rwanda.

Interested parties should reach out to Jovani (gm@klab.rw) and submit a written application for why they should be considered by March 1st. The selection process is done by the current board, so you should make sure to present yourself fully in writing, though hopefully we will already know you by reputation!

If you have any questions about what it takes to be on the board and what the commitment entails, feel free to reach out to me personally, I'm always at the kLab.
