Board of Directors

"Everyone who starves for knowledge can be fed by a book, and its content is not diminished; A book teaches in silence, however, its effect is eloquent. A book liberates, a book plants the roots of development. Books are irreplaceable tools for improving the quality of education in Angola and elsewhere."

- Jorge Chimbinda

The LWB organization began with student roots and our Board has grown to reflect diverse members of the information science community. We are looking to strengthen and extend our base by inviting seasoned professionals to participate in our application process and become a member of our board of directors. Voting will take place at our Annual General Meeting in Fall 2008.

We are looking for an individual who shares LWB’s values and can offer his/her passion and expertise to the benefit of the organization, in areas such as financial management, non-profit governance, strategic planning, policy development, fundraising, international development, world libraries, communications, and human resources / volunteer management. But, of course, enthusiasm and dedication are the main qualifications required for this position!

The term of office for a Board of Director is two years. The Board is responsible for such functions as developing and monitoring the strategic plan, overseeing all financial planning, and managing the Executive Committee.

If you would like to be part of a dynamic organization, involved with committed, like-minded volunteers, then LWB would love to have you on board!
