An Update on the 2023 Election

As noted in the resignation announcement of Board members Natalia Gruber, Antonius Melisse and Alex Tischer, this year’s OTW Board election will be uncontested.

This year, we have five open seats on the OTW Board, and five candidates. Each candidate is technically unopposed and will automatically be elected to the Board following the election process.

The election will still happen, on August 11 – 14. Based on election results, the three highest ranked candidates will be elected to full-term seats, and will serve 3 years on the OTW Board of Directors. The remaining candidates will be elected to the partial term seats and serve 2 years on the OTW Board of Directors.

The final set of Q&A’s and Candidate Chats will proceed as normal.

We encourage all OTW members to vote in this year’s election, and determine the allocation of full and partial Board Director terms.

Resignation of OTW Directors
