**Author**: Kaslin Fields
The [2021 Steering Committee Election](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/events/elections/2021) is now complete. The Kubernetes Steering Committee consists of 7 seats, 4 of which were up for election in 2021. Incoming committee members serve a term of 2 years, and all members are elected by the Kubernetes Community.
This community body is significant since it oversees the governance of the entire Kubernetes project. With that great power comes great responsibility. You can learn more about the steering committees role in their [charter](https://github.com/kubernetes/steering/blob/master/charter.md).

* **Paris Pittman ([@parispittman](https://github.com/parispittman)), Apple**
