I have served the international and national communities through several roles. One of my most satisfying role was to lead the design and execution of the first Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) hybrid conference, SPLASH 2021. This conference was organized both as a physical event in Chicago, IL and virtually. The hybrid conference was attended by over 800 participants. The conference combined virtual in-person Q&A sessions and introduced innovative features such as hybrid coffee breaks, a mirrored schedule for geographic inclusion, and time bands in the program. As a steering committee member for the NSF Midwest Big Data Hub (MBDH), I worked on advising the hub on sustainability and governance, and on providing program guidance.
