+LEADERSHIP_TEMPLATE To add a leadership roster, copy this file to _leadership/<identifier>.md using the same identifier as the foundation's _foundations record.  Fill the people list with board directors, officers, and paid staff you can verify against official sources (from that foundation, not wikipedia or the like).  Never guess: leave a field null and note it in the body if unknown.  Every person carries a sourceUrl and a confidence; use 1.0 only for facts stated verbatim.  Field descriptions are in the leadership-schema.json file.  Then replace this section (the content of the Jekyll document) with a short factual note on scope, provenance, and any gaps.  Submit a PR with this new identifier.md file in the _leadership directory.

+# AlmaLinux OS Foundation — Leadership
+
+Scope: the AlmaLinux OS Foundation Board of Directors as published on the foundation page. The foundation is a 501(c)(6) governed by a community-elected board with four-year staggered terms; the board elects its own officers, including the chair.
+
+Roster: seven directors listed — six voting plus one non-voting invited expert (David Snead). benny Vasquez is Chair (captured as both officer and board_director). The remaining voting members carry only board_director.
+
+Term dates: the page states each director's election year ("Elected YYYY") and term end ("Term ends YYYY"), captured verbatim as term_start / term_end with confidence 1.0. Term dates reflect the staggered four-year cohorts established by the amended bylaws adopted April 2026. David Snead is a non-voting invited expert with no stated term.
+
+Paid vs volunteer: the board operations statement says "No paid board roles," so all directors are unpaid governance roles (board_director / officer), confidence 1.0. No separate paid-staff / Executive Director role is published on this page.
+
+Bios: no narrative bios are published. Each person carries a one-line employer/title descriptor from the roster card (e.g. "CEO, Codenotary Inc."), captured verbatim in the bio field. benny Vasquez's card shows only the role/foundation, so bio is null.
+
+Contact: no per-person contact is published (foundation contact is hello@almalinux.org only), so contact is null for all.
