<Call for Nominations to DM Board 2022–2026>
Digital Medievalist (DM) is an international web-based community for medievalists working with digital media to support scholars in meeting the increasingly sophisticated demands faced by designers of contemporary digital projects. Digital Medievalist publishes an open access journal, sponsors conference sessions, runs an email discussion list and encourages best practice in digital medieval resource creation. Digital Medievalist is overseen by an nine-member Executive Board of medievalists with considerable experience in the use of digital media in the study of medieval topics.
Digital Medievalist is now seeking nominations (including self-nominations) to fill 5 positions on its Executive Board for terms beginning August 2022. Elections will be holding at the end of June 2022. Board positions are for 4-year terms, and incumbents may be re-elected (for a maximum of 2 terms [8 years] in a row). Members of the Board are responsible for the overall direction of the organisation and leading the Digital Medievalist’s many projects and programmes. This is a working board, and so it is expected that those elected will be willing and able to commit a little bit of time to helping Digital Medievalist undertake some of its activities (such as helping to run its journal, developing programming to support DM’s mission including online events or conference sessions, and contributing to its social media presence and activity, among others).
For further information about the Executive Board and Digital Medievalist more generally please see the DM website, particularly:

In order to be eligible for election, candidates must be members of Digital Medievalist (membership is conferred simply by subscription to the organisation’s mailing list, dm-l) and have made some demonstrable contribution either to the DM project (e.g. to the mailing list, or the wiki, etc.), or to the field of digital medieval studies.
If you are interested in running for these positions or are able to recommend a suitable candidate, please contact Claudia Sojer (claudia.sojer@uni-erfurt.de) or N. Kıvılcım Yavuz (nky@ku.edu) who will treat your nomination or enquiries in confidence.
The nomination period will close at 23:59 UTC on Monday 23rd May 2022 and elections will be held by electronic ballot from Monday, 27th June 2022, closing at 23:59 UTC on Monday, 11th July 2022.
