AI Summary

Hello Friends of Figma San Francisco community! I'm KB and run the Friends of Figma user group programming from Figma HQ 👋

I'm excited to announce applications are open for Friends of Figma leadership roles and we are currently looking for our next leader to take over the Friends of Figma San Francisco user group.

We're accepting applications for new leaders until July 15, 2026 (find the link under 'Apply to lead a new group'); however, once applications close, don't worry! You can still nominate and provide your information at any time – in this case, you'll nominate San Francisco and share your details with us! Until we find an incredible community volunteer, we will keep nominations open for the San Francisco group and reach out directly.

What does it take to be a Friends of Figma Leader?
Our biggest requirement is to host a minimum of 4 events a year. Take a look at our landing page to become a user group leader and/or our policies agreement which outlines all the goodness Friends of Figma leaders agree to and receive from Figma (free tickets to Config, anyone?!)

A huge thank you to our San Francisco community. We can't wait to see what you create! 🫶

Hi Kimberlea! I was wondering how the leadership search went and if we'll have any new events coming up. If needed I'm happy to help plan and organize!

Hey Paul! We got some wonderful applications and nominations and have just selected a new leader. Hang tight while they onboard, but I'll make sure they see this thread in case they'd like to tap the community to help with the first event!
