[NCUC-DISCUSS] Nomination of Bruna Martins dos Santos to continue serving as NCUC Chair

[Elsa S]

I could not have said it more eloquently than Ayden did. Bruna has been
exceptional in every way possible as a Chair and a very engaged member in
parallel to the administrative work (which is already a lot to handle). I
do hope she accepts this nomination and keeps the excellent work going.

Best,

Elsa
