OCLC 欧洲、中东和非洲地区委员会

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.

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

欧洲、中东和非洲地区委员会会议 (EMEARC) 欢迎该地区的所有 OCLC 客户、成员、合作商和发行商参加。COCL 成员在 EMEARC 上要承担一项特殊任务，即投票选出 EMEARC 委员会成员和代表该地区参加 OCLC 全球委员会的代表。

EMEARC 有两个常务委员会：执行委员会和提名委员会。

执行委员会每年至少要策划一次 EMEARC 面对面会议。该会议每年在不同国家举行。OCLC 首席执政官、总裁、 OCLC 战略领导团队的成员、EMEA 董事会和 OCLC 理事都要出席 EMEARC 会议。EMEARC 大会旨在为讨论地区内的重大问题和全球委员会日程主题提供一个平台。最重要的是，EMEARC 提供了一个与 OCLC 交换战略方向意见的双向渠道；此外，还可以通过它提供服务改进措施、分享合作活动信息、最佳实践和最新的 OCLC 研究发展情况。

地区内想加入 EMEARC 委员会或成为全球委员会代表的 OCLC 客户人员，请向 OCLC EMEA 社区联络员 Janet Lees 提交申请。
