***Nominations will be accepted through Wednesday, March 14. Please send nominations to dot.porter@gmail.com. Self-nominations are welcome***
The Digital Medievalist is now taking nominations for members of the executive board. Per the Digital Medievalist Bylaws, Board members will be expected to serve the DM membership by serving on an editorial committee responsible for the production of the DM journal, overseeing the operation of the DM wiki, moderating the dm-l listserv, and/or organizing conference and poster sessions on behalf of Digital Medievalist. Board members serve two-year terms, with four spaces available each year.
Eligibility to run for the board is determined by "demonstrable contribution to the project within the previous year," although there is no precise definition of a "demonstrable contribution." This might include editing the DM wiki, publishing an article or review in the DM Journal, or participating in a DM-sponsored session. Anyone who is subscribed to the Digital Medievalist listserv is eligible to vote.
If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else, please send a brief biographical statement (max 200 words) to Dot Porter at dot.porter@gmail.com.

Nominations will be accepted through March 14, at which point the slate will be announced and biographies will be sent to the DM Listserv and posted to the DM website. Voting will be held by email from March 21 through March 25. March 25 is Lady Day, the Feast of the Annunciation, and was New Year's Day until 1752, when western dating moved from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar. It is thus a suitable day to welcome the new Digital Medievalist board members.
