From The RDA Council Members To The RDA Community, With Heartfelt Thanks For Your Dedication And Work In 2020 And Warmest Wishes For 2021

In October, the RDA Community was first asked if any members wished to nominate a member and/or candidate themselves to serve on the Technical Advisory Board (https://rd-alliance.org/about-rda/our-leadership/rda-technical-advisory-board.html)  (TAB) from 2020 to 2023. This is an annual process within RDA, with the goal of electing new members to replace existing ones whose terms have expired.  The RDA Secretariat received eight nominations, seconded by RDA community members.
