Tim McGeary
| Duke University Libraries | Associate University Librarian for Information Technology Services | "I am honored to be nominated as a candidate for Board-Member-at-Large for the DuraSpace Foundation. Over my nearly 15 year career in higher education, I have found the DuraSpace Foundation, its services, and its administrative support of open source projects to be at the highest level of quality. It has been a privilege to partner with DuraSpace staff and members at each of the three institutions where I have worked. The collaborative spirit and commitment to sustainable and open solutions at DuraSpace is precisely the right type of focus and leadership, as well as the foundation for my leadership as Associate University Librarian at Duke University. I would be honored to work with the DuraSpace Foundation Board of Directors and new CEO Debra Hanken Kurtz to set strategic directions and priorities necessary to continue and enhance our commitment to excellence, openness, and sustainability." |
