<b>Subject:</b> [dspace-community] Community at large nominations to the DSpace Leadership Group 2021/22<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><b>DSpace is seeking two individuals from the community to be active participants in the future of the program by serving as members of the DSpace Leadership Group. </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>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). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Individuals serving in the Leadership Group play a key role in setting the strategic direction and priorities of the program through the approval of the annual budget allocation and program roadmap and in establishing the annual community direction. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Ideal candidates should be familiar with DSpace and have an interest in being engaged with key program's decisions and the broader user community. It is also helpful if the candidate has fiscal or staffing responsibility within their organization and is
able to bring the commitment, creativity, and dedication that the role calls for. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Learn more about the DSpace Leadership Group at: <a href="https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Leadership+Group">
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Leadership+Group</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><b>Please submit your nomination using this <a href="https://forms.gle/Eg1fNa43C2Q3Y8W68">
form</a> by Friday October 29, 2021. </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><b><i>Next Steps</i></b><br>
At the end of the nomination process the Leadership Group will choose the two candidates based on experience, geographic representation and engagement with the DSpace Community. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>If you have any questions about the project governance or the nomination and election process please contact me.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
