Welcome to our new Council members

As reported last year, we had two seats open for election to the Mautic Council and I’m delighted to report that both have now been filled.

Simran Sethi joined the council back in December after being the successful candidate in the first round of elections and we’ve just concluded the second round which saw Adrian Schimpf being voted by the community to join the council, winning with a vote count of 11 compared with 6 votes for the other candidate, Chandeep Khosa

Firstly, a big thank you to all candidates for putting themselves forward for election and being willing to serve Mautic in this capacity, and to all members who took the time to vote for their preferred candidate.

Both candidates will take up a three-year term on the Mautic council, and soon we’ll be introducing them with a full biography.
