Nominations open: Be a part of the DSpace Leadership Group
Michele Mennielli
DSpace community members, this message is for YOU!
The DSpace project is seeking two individuals from the community to be an active participant in the future of the project by serving as a member of the DSpace Leadership Group.
Beginning today, we invite anyone in the DSpace community, DSpace members (whose institution doesn’t already have a Leadership Group seat) or non-members of DSpace, to nominate an individual who you believe would be a good representative of the community (self-nominations are welcome). Individuals sitting on the Leadership Group play a key role in setting the strategic direction and priorities of the project through the approval of the annual budget allocation and project roadmap and establishing the annual community direction.
Ideal candidates should be familiar with DSpace and have an interest in being engaged with key project decisions and the broader user community. It is also helpful if the candidate has fiscal or staffing responsibility within their organization and able to bring the commitment, creativity, and dedication that the role calls for.
Learn more about the DSpace Leadership Group at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Leadership+Group.
Please submit your nomination using this form by Friday November 22, 2019.
Please include a brief personal statement expressing why you would be a suitable candidate for the Leadership Group
Self-nominations are welcome.
