OSHWA is looking for 4 new faces to join the board of directors for the Open Source Hardware Association. The nominee form is, as always, for self-nominations only. Please fill out the nominee form (deactivated 11:59PM ET on Oct. 8) to become a nominee or forward the link to someone you want to nominate. Do not fill out the form for someone else. The purpose of this form is to tell voting members why you want to serve on the OSHWA board. We will publish the nominees and their answers on Oct 10th. Board members hold a 2-year position. Once board members have been chosen by the membership, the board will appoint a President, VP, and Secretary. Board responsibilities include carrying out compliance with OSHWA’s purposes and bylaws, fundraising, promoting OSHWA, and advising on goals and direction. Board members must follow our Code of Conduct. See the board member agreement to get a sense of the responsibilities. Board members are expected to adhere to the board attendance policy and come prepared having read the board packet. Board members are expected to spend 5-10 hours of time per month on OSHWA. Nominees can submit questions to info@oshwa.org. Nominations will be open until 11:59PM ET on Oct. 8th.
Anyone can nominate themselves, and OSHWA is specifically short on the following talents: HR, finance, non-profit governance advisement (think someone who loves reading bylaws), and medical field advisement.
Member voting will take place Oct 15-22nd. View our election policy.
