[Osmf-talk] 2023 Board election - Submission of self-nominations is open

[Arnalie Vicario]

Dear OSMF members,

Today is the last day of self-nominations to run for Board! As mentioned,
there are three (3) vacant seats for election.

Currently, we now have 4 nominees

Thank you for the 4 nominees who would like to help shape and lead the
direction of OSMF.

If you are interested, there is still time :) If you have any questions,
feel free to ask me, or a current or previous board member about their
experience.

Looking forward to a diverse set of leaders - perspectives and skills -
that can help drive the OSM project and its community.


warm regards,
