OCLC has determined that OCLC PICA will be entitled to eight delegates to the OCLC Members Council beginning October 2007. OCLC PICA currently has seven delegates, of which two positions will become vacant. This means that OCLC PICA may appoint three new delegates and one or more alternates to three year terms beginning October 2007.
OCLC Members Council and member libraries need the best representatives that each network or service centre can provide. Besides electing trustees, Members Council is actively involved in strategic planning, environmental scans, and identifying services needed by libraries. Members Council needs individuals who are leaders, who demonstrate vision, who understand libraries' goals and future directions, and who can recommend how OCLC and libraries can help each other accomplish those goals.
OCLC Governing members are entitled to nominate candidates. These nominations should be sent in before 23 March 2007. For all nomination and election information, see the Members Council Election pages.
Members Council plays an important role in the governance of OCLC and in guiding the strategic direction of the organisation. If you would like to learn more about the Members council please visit the web page http://www.oclc.org/memberscouncil/default.htm.
