Leadership Group Elections
In May we launched the nomination phase of our Leadership Group election process for our projects. 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. The designated Community Liaison at each member institution takes part in the nomination (if there is an open Leadership Group seat) and election (if an election is necessary) process. We're pleased to welcome and in some cases, welcome back those members in the Leadership Groups of DSpace (LINK TBD), Fedora, and VIVO. We are now in the process of electing community Leadership Group members for DSpace (LINK TBD), Fedora, and VIVO and will share those results with you next month! If you have any questions about the Leadership Group election process please contact Kristi Searle.
