I am very pleased to announce the candidates for the 2021 Evergreen Project
Board election:

*Joe Knueven*, Wilmington Public Library, Consortium of Ohio Libraries
Joe currently serves as the Director of the Wilmington Public Library, a
member of the Consortium of Ohio Libraries (COOL).
Joe has over 20 years of experience in libraries, including seven years
leading public libraries running Evergreen. He was active in the founding
of COOL and served several years as Secretary of the consortium's Executive
Board.
In the wider community, Joe was chair of the local organizing committee for
the 2017 Evergreen Conference, served briefly as DIG facilitator in 2017-18
and is currently active in the Reports Interest Group.

*Katie Greenleaf Martin,* Altoona Area Public Library (PaILS/SPARK
consortium)
Katie Greenleaf Martin has worked with Evergreen for over a decade as a
user, running demos & assisting with migrations for the PaILS/SPARK
consortium, and doing original cataloging. She has a background with
organizational management in both public and academic settings.  Thanks to
her role as District Consultant for the Altoona Area Public Library, her
practice bridging between developers, consultants, and end users gives her
an understanding of the role of open-source software, and Evergreen in
particular, in providing library service.

*Keith Kuric,* Perry County Public Library (Evergreen Indiana)
Keith has previous experience as a circulation manager, is currently an
assistant director, and has a supportive boss who will give him time to
attend these meetings. He is patron focused.

*Lynn Floyd,* Indiana State Library / Evergreen Indiana
Lynn has been an active part of the Evergreen community for several years
both with Anderson Public Library/SCLends and now with Evergreen Indiana
through the Indiana State Library. She has both contributed to and
facilitated the contributions of others to Evergreen documentation and has
been a regular attendee to both the International Conference and more
recently the Hackaway. Lynn's dedication to both the Evergreen software and
the community recommend her to a more central point of leadership within
that community, and I'm confident that, if elected to a spot on The
Evergreen Project board, she will put her skills toward the continued
sustainability of TEP not-for-profit organization, the community at-large,
and the software.

The election will begin on April 1st. Everyone registered will receive an
email from Opavote.com with information on how to cast your vote. Voting
will end on April 9th and results will be announced the week of April 11th.

Information on the Evergreen Project board and its function in the
community can be found here: https://evergreen-ils.org/governance/  Please
feel free to contact me or any board member with questions about the board
or the election process.
