Voting for Medium Level Representative on the Governance Board Opens Soon
|
|
|
The
ArchivesSpace governance model is built on the principles of maintaining a high level of community engagement and fostering
an active and responsive community. It provides opportunities for all levels of our membership to participate in and provide guidance for the development of the ArchivesSpace application and community activities.
This year we have one open position on the Governance Board, for the representative for institutions at the
Medium membership level. The elected person will serve a three-year term from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2028. Each member organization at the Medium level will get one vote in this election
and we expect to open voting next week. The Voting Member we have on record for each eligible organization will be sent a link to their ballot via email once voting opens. If you have any questions about this election, please let Christine Di Bella know at
christin...@lyrasis.org.
A big thank you to all those who have volunteered to serve, and thanks in advance to everyone for voting.
