[Eg-oversight-board] [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 2015 Evergreen Oversight Board Elections: Call for Nominations + Voter Registration

[Joe Knueven]

Greetings Evergreen Oversight Board, 

I am writing to nominate Meme Marlow as a candidate to the Evergreen Oversight Board.  
Meme has been the Director of the Worch Memorial Public Library in Versailles, Ohio for the last 5 years.  Worch is a Consortium of Ohio Libraries member library.  Meme has used Evergreen for nearly three years and has been very active and engaged in growing and improving the Consortium's standing and advocating for Evergreen's use here in Ohio.  I believe she would serve the Evergreen community well if elected.  

Thank you and have a good day.

Joe
