Every year, the nine-person Samvera Board has three seats up for election. Board members in those seats can choose to run for re-election, or to step down.
Newly elected members start in January and serve a three year term. This year, two existing Board members will run for second terms, and one is stepping away.
We also have two Board members who need to step down from their seats and require elections off-cycle. This means there is a one-year term seat and a two-year term seat that will be open in this election as well.
Anyone supported by a
Samvera Partner institution or organization can run for the Samvera Board, and the Board benefits from members who represent a wide variety of roles including developers, managers, librarians, metadata specialists, executive leaders, and others.
Please consider nominating a colleague or yourself and help make the Samvera Community the most responsive and welcoming community we can be.
Thank you,
