Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Board of Directors Names OSGeo President and Executive Positions

Hello OSGeo Community,

at today’s board meeting the new elected OSGeo Board 2017 appointed the
Executive Positions for OSGeo. We had a very productive discussion and
appointed the positions with full consensus.

The OSGeo Board is pleased to announce the following executive:

Executive
   President: María Arias de Reyna
   Vice-President:Helena Mitasova
   Vice-President: Angelos Tzotsos
   Vice-President: Jeff McKenna
   Treasurer: Michael Smith
   Secretary: Astrid Emde

Board:
   Chair: Jody Garnett

We are thrilled to welcome the new OSGeo President María Arias de Reyna.
María is well known in the community and a strong vocal presence at many
conferences around the world, and her leadership will be an asset going
forward with OSGeo.

We decided to accompany the OSGeo President with three Vice-Presidents
to share all the commitments an OSGeo President has to satisfy and
represent OSGeo on events all over the world; we therefore also welcome
Helena Mitasova, Angelos Tzotsos, and Jeff McKenna as Vice-Presidents of
OSGeo.

Thank you to Michael Smith for again volunteering for the role of OSGeo
treasurer for another year and continuing to help OSGeo with financial
matters.

Astrid Emde volunteered to act as OSGeo Secretary and is replacing
Jachym Cepicky who so kindly volunteered his time in that role for
several years; thank you to Jachym for his efforts for so long.

Jody Garnett volunteered to act as Chair of the Board. This is a
non-executive position helping the board follow up on decisions,
schedule meetings ands keeping the board on track.

Please read the OSGeo bylaws to find out more about the Executive
Positions.

We would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to the past
members of the OSGeo Board who all have contributed their time and
efforts to help build up this amazing community. A special thank you
goes to Venkatesh Raghavan through his recent role as OSGeo President,
for his constant worldwide vision and leadership, for which we are
forever appreciative.
