[OSGeo Oceania] OSGeo Board Nominations are Open

[OSGeo Oceania]

The OSGeo Oceania board elections are coming up, and we need community
members to step up to serve on the board of directors.

To maintain a healthy and dynamic community-driven organisation, it's
critical to continually bring in new energy and ideas. You don't need
previous board experience to bring value. If you're interested in open
geospatial, and you want to contribute to a thriving community in Oceania,
consider this an opportunity to make a big difference.

Elections are open to all OSGeo Oceania Members.

Please be aware that being a Director on our Board is a formal role, and
has a number of responsibilities attached. Also, since we have no
employees, Directors are active in an operational sense, and not just in a
strategy. Have a read of this AICD document on Board Director
responsibilities
https://www.aicd.com.au/content/dam/aicd/pdf/tools-resources/director-tools/individual/director-tool-general-duties-of-directors.pdf

Please read our Terms of Reference and please get in touch with a current
Board member if you have any questions.
