As chair of the 2019/20 ArchivesSpace Nominating Committee, I seek your nominations of candidates to stand for election for the ArchivesSpace Governance Board representing the Large, Medium and Very Small membership levels. Member engagement is critical to
the success of ArchivesSpace, and the Board relies upon your recommendations for strong candidates. You may nominate individuals in your own membership level as well as membership levels other than your own.<br>
<br>
We are seeking one additional candidate for the Large level, two for the Medium level, and one additional candidate for the Very Small level. (The current incumbents at the Large (Gordon Daines) and Very Small (Nick Zmijewski) membership levels are running
for re-election as representatives.) The terms for all successful candidates will be July 1, 2020-June 30, 2023. Each newly elected member representative will be eligible to run for a second term, July 1, 2023-June 30, 2026. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:8.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nominees must be currently employed by an ArchivesSpace member organization in either the Large, Medium or Very Small member levels (see the member lists at: <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/archivesspace.org/community/whos-using-archivesspace/__;!!HXCxUKc!gGesJK-LIEsCbQT9sBUQ7xjMZ6VKtUjAFOQfPk7yEW4L5XlcF10hp9cLGGHE0S8KUA$" target="_blank">http://archivesspace.org/community/whos-using-archivesspace/</a>).
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.

Nominees who confirm their interest in standing for election will be requested to supply a formal candidate statement outlining their qualifications for serving on the ArchivesSpace Governance Board (see: <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/archivesspace.org/about/governance-board-and-councils/__;!!HXCxUKc!gGesJK-LIEsCbQT9sBUQ7xjMZ6VKtUjAFOQfPk7yEW4L5XlcF10hp9cLGGFVMAkztA$" target="_blank">http://archivesspace.org/about/governance-board-and-councils/</a>).
The Nominating Committee will review all nominations and confirm a slate of nominees with the current Governance Board. An election ballot will be circulated to member institutions in mid-May.<o:p></o:p></p>
