maia_bobHello and welcome to my legal-name journal created to express my enthusiasm for all things boardy.
The official announcement is on the Transformativeworks website and I offer my thanks to Francesca and Naomi (who are stepping down) for the many hours they have devoted to both creating the OTW and keeping its many balls in the air.
If you're interested in my past involvement in the OTW then the arty bit is on the AO3, and my blogging as an OTW volunteer on my more personal journal.
In short: I'm a Western Australian, I'm in IT and have been for many years, I've (I like to think successfully) chaired an OTW committee before, and I think things like organisational culture, communication and succession planning are important.
At present I've attended one Board meeting at the exciting time of 4am to do basic induction-ish type things and to start building relationships with the other board members. While I'm familiar with many of the people on the board I've not had the fortune to work closely with them before. I'll be acting as liaison for a couple of committees and generally participating in (yet to be identified) board activities.
The most exciting thing that's happened so far was explaining the OTW, the AO3 and Transformative Works to my manager at work (we declare things like other employment and potential conflicts of interest) which led to a conversation about 50 Shades of Grey and me using the word porn rather more than usual in a work environment. *grins*
My intention is to be as open and communicative as possible and this DW has been created to reflect this. I'm leaving anon commenting on and ask only that if you want a reply from me, you sign your comment (even if it's with an "X") so I can keep track of who I'm talking to. If commenting is not your thing, feel free to email me at maia dot bobrowicz at gmail.
I'm looking forward to the 2013 term and I hope we can do good things and have some fun along the way.
Cheers, Maia
