Ways to help support the Drupal Association
With the uncertainty of the COVID-19 outbreak affecting DrupalCon Minneapolis, the DA's biggest fund raiser, financial support is needed now to help the DA continue its mission of supporting the Drupal software project and the Drupal Community.
As one of the community-elected representatives on the Drupal Association board of Directors I urge you and your organization to help support the Drupal Association now. Read my blog post to learn HOW you can help.
