Hello fellow OpenMRS-ers!

I’m excited to announce that we are opening the election for the community member seat on the OpenMRS Board of Directors. This seat, nominated and elected by you, is our representative of the real-world needs and experiences of the OpenMRS community and the settings and organizations we serve. I have been deeply honored to serve in this seat for the past 2 years, and I want to express my gratitude to the community for electing me to represent them. I hope I served you well during my term! Although I am leaving the community seat, I won’t be going far as I’ve accepted the invitation by the Board to take on the Chair position, to lead the Board as our community takes on our next growth as a public global digital good. Please continue to talk and strategize with me about what we need and how the Board and the OpenMRS Inc can best support our work together. I’ll do my best to serve you well!

Now it’s time for some fresh eyes to take on this community representative role to inform the Board on how to best support us in our mission. With that, I’m excited to share our candidates and their statements for the BOD community representative position. All four of these candidates are amazing people, outstanding community citizens, and I truly believe we will be in good hands with any one of them.
