Each DuraSpace project has representative, community-based governance model that includes several governing groups with various levels of responsibility. Eligibility to serve in project governance is determined by participation in the DuraSpace Membership Program. Individuals sitting on the Leadership Group for each project play a key role in setting the strategic direction and priorities of the project through the approval of the annual budget allocation and project roadmap and establishing the annual community direction. Leaders also nominate the members of the project Steering Group. Nominations are made by the appointed The designated Community Liaison at each member institution . Their role includes both takes part in the nomination of a candidate from your institution (if there is an open Leadership Group seat) and voting in the election on behalf of your institution which will take place later this month.
