arnalie<p>I was thinking of sharing my experience and reflection for my second year as an OSMF board member, like I did in my first year, then thought, it would be better and greater to write it with my co-board members.</p><p>Together with my 2024 fellow board members, Craig, Dani, Mateusz, Roland and Sarah, we are grateful to share our Collective Board Report for the 2024 Year of the OSMF.</p><p><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/The_2024_Year_of_OSMF:_A_Collective_Board_Report" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Th</span><span class="invisible">e_2024_Year_of_OSMF:_A_Collective_Board_Report</span></a></p><p><a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OpenStreetMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenStreetMap</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OSMF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSMF</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OpenStreetMapFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenStreetMapFoundation</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/BoardLeadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoardLeadership</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/WomeninLeadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomeninLeadership</span></a></p>

Just as in many similar meetings.</p><p>Especially helpful when the meeting is on-line and slightly asynchronous because of typing speeds.</p>
SK53<p>Not had much time to follow the <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OSMF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSMF</span></a> board election, but have voted nonetheless.</p><p>Still disappointed that formal statements from the board are not obviously available (chair's report) or very skimpy (treasurer's report). I believe these should be available before nominations for board candidates close.</p><p>I'm also still missing an agenda item for OSMF members to vote thanks for all who volunteer for the board, working groups etc. It's a simple thing, but it's surprisingly heartening for all.</p>
arnalie<p>I have collaborated with both Courtney Williamson &amp; Michael Montani in OSMF Working Groups. Courtney has supported the Communication WG as well as led the OSMF Fundraising campaign. Michael is supporting communities and setting up guidelines with the Local Chapters and Communities Working Group.</p><p><a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/openstreetmap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>openstreetmap</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/osmf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>osmf</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/osmfelections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>osmfelections</span></a></p>

arnalie<p>I would also like to vouch the commitment to open collaboration of my fellow board member Craig Allan who is re-running. He has led setting up internal policies, structure to the OSMF Finance Committee, and used his great facilitation skills to ensure constructive and welcoming spaces within the Board channels.</p><p><a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/openstreetmap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>openstreetmap</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/osmf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>osmf</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/osmfelections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>osmfelections</span></a></p>
arnalie<p>To share, I have personally been encouraging Laura Mugeha (Kenya, Africa) and Andres Gomez Casanova (Colombia, South America) to run since like 2 years ago (the same time I ran for Board). Representation is very important for me and I've witnessed how these two leaders grow their community at national, regional, and global level. </p><p>We have 3 candidates from Asia: Can Ünen, Brazil Singh &amp; Arun Ganesh. And I do hope we get another representation from our region 🙂<br><a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/openstreetmap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>openstreetmap</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/osmf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>osmf</span></a></p>
arnalie<p>Lots of them I know, have collaborated in community initiatives, Working Groups, met at SotMs, and even worked as fellow board members and colleagues.</p><p>Diversity and dedication makes a huge difference when you are in a position of power such as the board. So I am putting representation and commitment to OSMF on my ballot. 🗳</p><p> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OSMF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSMF</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/Openstreetmap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Openstreetmap</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OSMFElections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSMFElections</span></a></p>
