W‍hy they joined the board

Barbara initially joined TPMA as a volunteer, where she witnessed firsthand the impact and value this community brings to product management professionals. Inspired by the organization’s mission, she wanted to play a more active role in shaping its future and ensuring ongoing value for members. After successfully growing the volunteer community last year, Barbara aims to build on that momentum, fostering a more engaged volunteer base to drive key initiatives forward. With established relationships with fellow board members and volunteers, she is committed to amplifying TPMA’s impact and extending its reach within the product management community.

Focused on recruitment, onboarding, and engagement, she led initiatives such as monthly Volunteer Spotlights, virtual meetups, volunteer campaigns, and streamlined volunteer onboarding/offboarding processes, achieving a 90% satisfaction rate and reinforcing TPMA’s volunteer-driven impact.

Barbara has also contributed to other key projects, including supporting the AGM and assisting with the website redesign to enhance user experience and community engagement.

"As someone who started as a volunteer, I understand the value of giving back and the power of community. My goal is to ensure every volunteer feels seen, supported, and empowered to contribute in impactful ways."
