I had meant to send out this email last week, but I was home snuggling a sick baby instead! Since I missed sending a reminder, the deadline for voter registration is extended. *Voter registration will end today, March 9th, at 4 PM EDT. *Click here <https://forms.gle/SJ85JjRDakaQCZHN8> to register if you have not done so already.

For more information on the Evergreen Project Board, see the Project Governance <https://evergreen-ils.org/governance/> page on the Evergreen web site. There are two open seats on the board. You may select up to two candidates. If a candidate receives a majority vote from registered voters, they will be considered approved. Candidates: *Jeanette Lundgren * Jeanette is Executive Director of CW MARS, a consortium of 147 member libraries and 175 outlets (branch locations) using Evergreen since 2012, located in Central and Western Massachusetts. Jeanette has led the network for almost two years, after serving as Library Applications Manager for three years prior. She has served on the board of MassLNC, the Evergreen development cooperative, for two years. Prior to CW MARS, Jeanette was Systems Librarian at Becker College for eight years and was a software developer for six years. Jeanette is a collaborative leader with a strong background in Evergreen and non-profit corporations with a good understanding of the issues facing the Evergreen and the organization and I strongly recommend her for the Evergreen Project Board. -Ron Gagnon, NOBLE *Debbie Luchenbill * Debbie has been part of the Evergreen Community since 2012, when she started working for MOBIUS.
