<div dir="ltr">Hi RDAP, <div><br></div><div>Just a reminder that we are still accepting <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeYW8q_fjBDZ3AnwXVJqLexZC05ha-9sgoeErvarkBJwo0eXA/viewform">nominations to run for the RDAP Executive Board</a>. You too could enjoy the glamorous, high-fashion, jet-set life of a RDAP Board member! Okay, so it's not all fame and fortune, but it is important and rewarding work. Furthermore, the RDAP community needs dedicated people to enable RDAP to be the community that you want it to be. I do hope that you all will give running for a position on the board serious thought.</div><div><br></div><div>If you have any questions about the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IaOzD8AxMiwqXz1cnrQXbVY21I3p8-bNHLzKd9VptS8/edit">four positions on the executive board</a>, any one of the <a href="https://rdapassociation.org/home/rdap-leadership/">current office holders</a> would be more than happy to talk with you. Thanks for considering!</div><div><br></div><div>-Jake </div><span></span></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 28, 2019 at 11:29 AM Jake Carlson <<a href="mailto:jakecar@umich.edu" target="_blank">jakecar@umich.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello RDAP members, <br><br>Nominations for the RDAP Association Executive Board are now open!
