Leslie Glynn introduces the Event Organizers Working Group (EOWG) on Day 20 of the Drupal Advent Calendar. Stemming from a pivotal roundtable led by Rachel Lawson at DrupalCon Seattle in 2019, the EOWG established its structure in collaboration with the Drupal Association. This group aims to support present and future event organizers globally, focusing on nurturing local events for Drupal's expansion. 

With a diverse board and advisory team drawn from global Drupal gatherings, their efforts encompass enhancing event websites, promoting contribution events, and advocating the advantages of EOWG. Welcoming nominations, EOWG seeks to strengthen connections with event organizers, inviting all to fortify Drupal's collaborative spirit and enduring growth.
