[Distributed from Chair of the Nominations Committee to ArchivesSpace Member representatives]
...
Nominees must be currently employed by an ArchivesSpace member organization in either the Very Large or Small member levels (see the member lists at: http://www.archivesspace.org/members). Nominees should have administrative and fiscal oversight experience, characteristics typical of director or associate director level staff. The Goverance Board is charged with providing oversight for the ArchivesSpace application and community, including fiscal oversight, the approval of development priorities, and oversight of the Technical and User Advisory councils.
To meet the needs of a broad and diverse membership in a balanced and equitable way, the Governance Board is composed of twelve members:
9 voting members:
5 elected members, one from each of the five membership categories;
3 standing members, one representing each of the three original project partners (New York University, UC San Diego, and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign); and
1 member representing the LYRASIS management team.
3 ex officio members:
ArchivesSpace Program Manager,
LYRASIS Director of Collection Services and Community Supported Software, and
1 member of the LYRASIS Board of Directors.
Please feel free to contact me or any member of our Nominations Committee with any questions. Again, nominations should be sent to Bradley Westbrook and must be received by April 29.
Thank you for your participation in this important process, which is an essential part of our identity and operations as a community-based software organization.
Respectfully,
Christian Dupont
Chair, 2016 ArchivesSpace Nominations Committee
