Kurt Diver, SendGrid's Manager of Delivery Consulting Services, was appointed as a Training Committee Co-Chair. Kurt's focus will be developing a new set of training programs for the community to help expand members' knowledge, skillsets and give them hands on applicable training to take learnings from M³AAWG into their jobs.

"It's an honor to serve as a Vice Chair at M³AAWG and give back to an organization that is committed to tackling abuse for the entire messaging ecosystem," said Len Shneyder, Vice President of Industry Relations at SendGrid. "The three Vice Chairs that were elected are a great representation of the many cross sections of the organization: Software and Service Provider, Hosting and Senders, that are a part of M³AAWG. I'm proud to continue SendGrid's ongoing and active participation in M³AAWG."

"As Training Committee Co-Chair, I'm thrilled to work toward the M³AAWG mission of educating members on how to mitigate issues related to online abuse and messaging," said Kurt Diver, Manager of Delivery Consulting Services at SendGrid. "The training sessions I'm working to develop with the other co-chairs will allow participants to choose courses that fit their needs and interests and bring key learnings back into their day-to-day lives and work while increasing the value of attending the thrice yearly meetings."

M³AAWG brings the technology industry together to work against bots, malware, spam, viruses, denial-of-service attacks and other online exploitation.
