<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#747474">The Board is continuing its work to update the mission and bylaws by which the OpenFabrics Alliance (OFA) is run. This effort is informed
and supported by emerging partnerships with various organizations within the open source, high performance, computing ecosystem. Along with these changes we hope to increase our membership, thereby increasing the impact and contributions the OFA can bring
to the table. <br>
<br>
As the end of my 2-year term as Board Chair approaches, I am hopeful that these new collaborations and our current programs will serve to move the OFA forward, allowing it to thrive along with the wider community. <br>

The partnership was initiated and further defined at OFA Workshop 2018 through the activities of the Remote Persistent Memory Think Tank – the takeaways from the Think Tank can be viewed
