title: Call for Applications to the Technical Leadership Committee
---

[The Haskell Foundation is entirely reworking how it sets and funds its technical agenda](https://discourse.haskell.org/t/haskell-foundation-2026-update/14136). To that end, we are looking for keen volunteers to sit on the new Technical Leadership Committee.

The Technical Leadership Committee (TLC) is an evolution of the Technical Working Group (TWG). Notably:

* The TLC is expected to display leadership, that is, to actively shape a positive vision for the development of Haskell and to help bring that into existence.
* The TLC is expected to move quickly. It is also a much smaller committee to accelerate decision-making.
* The TLC has significantly more power. The TLC has a much lower bar than the TWG for spending money, and the Board is keen to see a more agile and exploratory approach.

It is of course expected that the members take this seriously and ensure that the money is spent well and that projects are successful. The TLC is accountable to the Foundation Board, and will have a permanent Board observer.

As per the [committee bylaws](https://gitlab.haskell.org/hf/meta/-/blob/eebfdd878ff0e59c56bfd73cf1e74a2dd8db8fea/committees/technical-leadership.md), the Haskell Foundation is currently looking to fill 3 to 5 positions on this committee. Interested parties can submit a cover letter explaining why they should be chosen, and what is their vision of Haskell Foundation's technical agenda, to [tlc-formation@haskell.foundation](mailto:tlc-formation@haskell.foundation). Applications will be accepted over the next two weeks, until and including August 19^th^, 2026.
