As we celebrate our tenth year, the current Board members feel that we need to continue with a diverse group who are curious about what is right for ODN Europe now and in the future whilst respecting and appreciating our past. We expect the way ODN Europe operates and is structured to evolve and change in the coming years as we expand into more of Europe. How radical those changes are remains to be seen and will be developed as we evolve.
To fulfil its role with broader diversity, the Board is interested in hearing from people with specific interest, experience, and expertise in the following areas:
- Communication & connection: developing the infrastructure and communication underpinning our community’s experience
- European perspectives: how we broaden our membership across Europe
- Member engagement: what conditions are required for membership diversity to increase and to continue building a strong body of ODN Europe members
- Equity, Diversity & Inclusion: proactively committed to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion work in the field of OD and to support the growth of our membership
- Finance and governance: maintaining the finances (income and expenses) and considering all the governance conditions required to ensure the sustainability of ODN Europe.
- Any other areas you feel might contribute to ODN Europe mission and / or to the development of OD field.
