[Distributed from Chair of the Nominations Committee]Posted by Nominating Committee Chair to the following ArchivesSpace mailing lists:
As chair of the 2016/17 ArchivesSpace Nominations Nominating Committee, I am writing to seek your nominations of candidates to stand for election for the ArchivesSpace Governance Board representing the Very Large and Small membership levels. Member engagement is critical to the success of ArchivesSpace, and the Board relies upon your recommendations for strong candidates. Even if you represent a different category of membership, please consider colleagues you know at other institutions.
...
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 Governance 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.
...
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
