Want to carry this campaign into your corner of the community? This page is the toolkit. Ready-to-use blurbs, post templates, an email kit, and the one-line frame that holds up best. Lift, adapt, send.
If you want to help, thank you. Here is everything you need.
Two weeks of campaigning, one seat on the Scrum Alliance Board of Directors, and a membership of roughly 200,000 people. The best thing any supporter can do is make the vote visible in the corner of the community they reach. A post, a forward, a DM, a one-liner. Pick whatever fits how you already talk. The materials below are ready to lift.
Submit an endorsement at voice.alexsloley.com/endorsements. Your name, your role or credential, and a few sentences in your own words on why you're backing this candidacy.
Once approved, your endorsement appears publicly on the endorsements page. Voters and the wider community can see it there. Public visibility is the most durable signal of support a candidate can have, and it's the thing most candidates do not have.

CSTs and any Scrum Alliance trainer or coach-level guide can email their list in support of this campaign. This has been verified directly with Scrum Alliance's official compliance counsel. Trainers and coaches credentialed elsewhere (ICAgile, PMI, Kanban University, IAF, or independent) can do the same with their own lists under the same principle.
