2017 Global Board of Directors Election
The OWASP Foundation was established in 2001 as an open community and software security resource. Since then, OWASP has grown to be globally recognized as a credible source for application security standards (see industry citations). Individuals typically find OWASP when searching the internet for information about software security - and they are happy to find a reliable source of knowledge built by an extremely open and passionate community. OWASP is open to anyone. Anyone can attend OWASP's vendor agnostic local chapter meetings, participate in regional and global conferences, and contribute to the many OWASP projects. And anyone can start a new project, form a new chapter, or lend their expertise to help an OWASP Global Committee.
The OWASP Foundation Board of Directors currently consists of seven elected volunteers. These unpaid volunteers dedicate themselves to the organizational mission and playing a pivotal role in the software security community. OWASP conducts democratic elections of its Board Members to enable bottom-up advancement of its mission.

Global Board of Directors Primary Responsibilities
The OWASP Foundation Board of Directors currently consists of seven elected volunteers who serve a two year term. These unpaid volunteers dedicate themselves to the organizational mission and playing a pivotal role in the software security community. Members of the Global Board of Directors are responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organization and ensuring the financial integrity of the Foundation.
Detailed information on meeting requirements, roles and responsibilities within the board, term limits, and elections is found in the OWASP Foundation bylaws. The Board of Directors Code of Conduct and details of the orientation and on-boarding process are found on our Governance page.
Please reach out to our current Board Members if you'd like additional information on what it's like to be a Global Board member at the OWASP Foundation.
Additional Responsibilities that the International Board of Directors must adhere to can be found on the Foundation Governance Page
Eligibility Requirements for Board Candidates

Call for Questions
The 2017 Global Board of Directors election will start accepting candidate submissions on June 6, 2017. If you are interested in helping lead a global community that strives on making the world a safer place, then please consider running for a seat on the OWASP Global Board of Directors.
From August 9 - September 1, 2017 all individuals who submitted a candidacy will be interviewed, and asked a series of questions about why they feel they should be elected. The questions they are asked come from you! We will take the top 6-7 questions and those will be the questions used during the candidate interviews. You may submit your own question(s) and/or give a "thumbs up" to any existing question previously submitted by your fellow community members.
The Call for Questions is now CLOSED.
The questions below are the top 7 questions submitted and voted on by the OWASP Community. The candidates will be asked a series of these questions during their group interviews schedule for later this month.
1. How do you make sure that the board's decisions won't be influenced by any personal favors or corruption?
2. OWASP does not have a great reputation internationally due what most people call "Politics", how do you intend to solve the "Politics" problem?
3. How do you intend to address bullying within OWASP? If someone is a repeat offender, will you enforce rules to expel or suspend offending parties?
4. How do you intend to empower the Compliance Committee? Currently all it has the power to do is mediate or make suggestions, it needs more than that.
5. What accomplishments related to OWASP Foundation's mission have you demonstrated in the last (5) years?
6. What kind of action plan do you have in mind to help motivate the participation of Developers into OWASP community?
7. What is your strategy to keep chapters active and motivated with OWASP and keep having meetings and organize local events?
