Digital Medievalist will be holding elections at the end of this month for four positions to its board. Board positions are for two year terms and incumbents may be re-elected. Members of the board are responsible for the over all direction of the organisation and leading the Digital Medievalist's many projects and programmes. With the election of these four positions, Digital Medievalist will complete its transition from an investigator-driven project to a community-governed organisation. Information about the organisation, including its bylaws, is available at http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/ (see particularly http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/about/)
We are now seeking nominations (including self-nominations) for these vacancies. In order to be eligible for election, candidates must be members of Digital Medievalist (membership is conferred by subscription to the organisation's mailing list, dm-l@uleth.ca).
If you are interested in running for these positions or are able to recommend a suitable candidate, please contact the returning officer, Daniel Paul O'Donnell, at daniel.odonnell@uleth.ca. The nomination period will close at 0000 UTC Thursday April 24 and elections will be held by electronic ballot through the end of the week of April 28th, 2008.
