Nominee: Aleda Freeman, aleda.freeman at mass.gov 
<mailto:aleda.freeman at mass.gov> - USA

I would like to nominate Aleda Freeman for OSGeo Charter Membership. In 
addition to being a member of FOSS4G 2017's spectacular local organizing 
committee, Aleda has been an active member of the MA/Boston GIS 
community for over 20 years. As Web Services Manager at MassGIS Aleda 
was instrumental in making the agency's pivot from ESRI to GeoServer 
over a decade ago (and on a personal note, MassGIS's web portal was my 
first encounter with FOSS4G in use "in the wild", which had a 
significant impact on my younger self). Aleda is a devoted proponent of 
open source geo who puts a ton of effort & time into the community.
