Encompass seeks new directors
June 12, 2007
HP's enterprise user group Encompass put out its call today for a new set of nominees to its upcoming board elections, as the organization reaches out to involve customers from every HP platform. The board already counts HP 3000 talent from Speedware's Chris Koppe and City of Sparks, Nevada's Steve Davidek. Both have been instrumental in the transfer of knowledge from the Interex user group.
The deadline for submitting an application for candidacy is Friday, July 6. The Encompass Nominating Committee will interview all applicants, and the slate of those selected to run will be announced on the Encompass Web site on July 25.
Community members can apply at the Encompass Web site nomination page. More information and an FAQ on the process is also available at the site, along with briefs on the current slate of directors.
Nina Buik, the board's new president for 2007, has been profiled by the 3000 NewsWire in our latest printed issue, as well as in our blog. In our Q&A Buik makes a case for closer involvement with computer user communication organizations such as Encompass.
HP partners closely with the group, making a board seat one of the best ways to access HP executive strategies. Board service also makes a handsome addition to an IT professional's resume.
