The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team community membership has re-elected me as a Board member. I am delighted.
The announcement on the OpenStreetMap wiki.
We have a strong mandate and an engaged membership. These past few weeks have included many discussions about the role of a Board and the changes that we, collectively, need to make. It is a true honour to be charged to continue support HOT’s mission.
On that note, I found this Mckinsey Report on shaping a Board. If you have any resources on how to help a new Board, being a Board Member and organizational change in the Humanitarian and Open Source fields, please do send these my way.
“Governance arguably suffers most, though, when boards spend too much time looking in the rear-view mirror and not enough scanning the road ahead. “
The McKinsey Report on Building A Forward Looking Board.
To my fellow Hotties, thank you for the trust to continue my supportive role.
I have been on a couple of NPO boards and had to deal with difficult board decisions as ex director.
The BlueAvocado site has always been helpful, though it is not specific to opensource initiatives.
