Dear colleagues,
Several members of the GO::DH Executive Committee, who have graciously provided years of excellent service, are now moving on to other services elsewhere, even as they remain committed and supportive members of the organization. With their term now ended or coming to an end, we are now seeking at least four nominees for election and/or acclamation to the Committee. This will be for a two-year term of service beginning immediately after the election, from January 1st, 2022 to December 31, 2023. All voting positions on the Committee are for two-year terms that can be renewed three consecutive times.
We begin with a nomination period, which will close Tuesday, December 14 at midnight in all time zones, followed by a two-week elections period. The election will be held by electronic ballot open to all subscribers to the GO::DH mailing list.
While the work of the GO::DH Executive Committee is not heavy, it is important to our community and the support of an approach to DH that recognizes, facilitates and encourages linguistic, regional, and other forms of diversity. This year, GO::DH has launched a series of Webinars and we continued our publication program. We welcome your ideas and enthusiasm for other initiatives GO::DH can undertake!
Please consider nominating yourself (self-nominations are common and welcome) or somebody else in our community by emailing Barbara Bordalejo at barbara.bordalejo@ulethc.ca. All who wish to put their names forward will be warmly welcomed as candidates. Again, the deadline for nominations is Tuesday, December 14.
In your email, please include the following information:
· The name of the nominee · Preferred email address of the nominee (if you are nominating somebody other than yourself, please be sure to cc your nominee on the email so that we know they are willing to stand and that we know we have a working email address for them) · An optional brief candidate statement (<250 words). This can be anything you wish: a bio; an explanation of your aims for the position. This statement will be published on the GO::DH website.
Sincerely,
Barbara Bordalejo, on behalf of the GO::DH executive
