Dear OGF Community,
Four at-large members of the OGF Board will have their 2-year terms expire at the end of the calendar year: Wolfgang Gentzsch, Silvana Muscella, Walter Stewart, and Paul Strong. Accordingly OGF calls for nominations to fill those positions. Nominations must be received by November 5th, 2010. Nominations may be submitted at this URL:
http://www.ogf.org/nomcom/nomination.php
At-large members of the board, as distinct from corporate members, are either individual members of OGF or representatives of organizational members not already serving on the board. At large members are nominated by the OGF community, but are voted on by the organizational board members.
Board members of OGF are not only responsible for the governance of the organization but are required to be actively engaged in the life of the organization. Board members act as advocates for OGF to companies, academic organizations, other associations, and governments. Board members act as spokespersons for the organization at conferences and meetings. Board members according to their interests and experiences actively engage in the running of the organization chairing and participating on committees, heading task forces, and actively working to engage the wider membership.
The organization is run through bi-weekly one-hour board teleconferences.
Please consider nominating those who have valuable experience and commitment to bring to OGF through their active engagement on the board of directors. The ongoing success of OGF is dependent upon a committed and active board.
Thanks,
Joel (on behalf of the NomCom)
