Dear Fellow IDPF Members,
I submit my nomination for election to the IDPF Board of Directors.
As true momentum builds around all aspects of the eBook marketplace, we are in a
great position to expand on the excellent work that has been done at IDPF over
these past many years. With the continued hard work on refining and
strengthening of file formats ahead of us, it is also time to broaden the
membership and exposure of the IDPF itself.
Having been involved with the IDPF even before it was the IDPF, I have
experience that spans some real history. I also have a vision to the future
where the IDPF and its format/standards work become the center of the digital
content conversation.
Through my almost two decades of work with many different companies inside of
Follett Corporation, I have seen numerous digital projects come and go, from the
retail, higher-Ed, and library markets. Over the past 14 months as President of
Full Potential Associates, I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of
organizations, worldwide, addressing digital issues.
I would like to help to continue pushing the industry forward and therefore I
hereby self-nominate for an open seat on the board.
