A message from Robin Green
Greetings to all OCLC Members and customers in the EMEA Region, and welcome to the EMEA Regional Council Web site.
We are now in the third year since the new structure of a Global Council supported by three Regional Councils was introduced to respond to the increasingly global nature of the OCLC cooperative.
This new structure brings the cooperative into the Regions. The Delegates to Global Council elected by OCLC Members in each Region represent Members by bringing their questions, issues and suggestions around the cooperative directly to OCLC's Strategic Leadership Team and Board of Trustees.
This means that every OCLC Member now has the means to change the cooperative - and so Membership Matters! is the name of our multi-year Plan to develop the still very young EMEA Regional Council.
The focus this year for me and the other Regional Council Executive Committee members is 'Reaching Out'. This reflects our intent to improve communication with Members and increase understanding of the OCLC cooperative within the Region.
Each year the Regional Council holds a major meeting for all EMEA Members and customers. In 2011 this event was held in Frankfurt, Germany. The 2012 meeting will be on 28 and 29 February and will take place in Birmingham, UK. Mark these days in your diary!
Further information can be found on these pages about the Regional Council, its Executive Committee, and how to contact your Delegates. Please take the time to find out who we are, and do contact us if you would like to talk about Regional matters or the OCLC cooperative more broadly!
—Robin Green, Chair, EMEA Regional Council
El Consejo Regional de (EMEA) Europa, Medio Oriente y África está abierto a todos los clientes, miembros, socios y distribuidores de OCLC ubicados en esa región geográfica. Los miembros de OCLC desempeñan una función especial dentro del EMEA ya que reúnen los requisitos para votar en las elecciones para los Comités del EMEA y para ser Delegados para representar a la región en el Consejo Mundial.
Hay dos comités permanentes dentro del EMEA: el Comité Ejecutivo y el Comité de Designaciones.
El Comité Ejecutivo planea al menos una reunión presencial del EMEA por año. Esta reunión se realiza todos los años en un país diferente. Asisten a las reuniones del EMEA el Presidente y Gerente General de OCLC, los miembros del Equipo de Dirección Estratégica de OCLC, la Junta Directiva de EMEA y los directivos de OCLC. Las reuniones del EMEA tienen como objetivo proporcionar un foro para debatir temas que son importantes dentro de la región y temas que están en la agenda del Consejo Mundial. Ante todo, el EMEA es una vía de comunicación bidireccional que proporciona asesoramiento a OCLC sobre su dirección estratégica, brinda sugerencias para el desarrollo de servicios y para compartir información sobre iniciativas de colaboración, y ofrece las mejores prácticas y los últimos desarrollos e investigaciones de OCLC.
Las personas interesadas, desde clientes de OCLC en la región que tengan interés en participar en los comités del EMEA o en desempeñarse como Delegados del Consejo Mundial están invitados a enviar una solicitud a Janet Lees, Coordinadora de la comunidad, OCLC EMEA.
