The OCWC Board of Directors has recently appointed Doris Rojas of the Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria, Lima-Peru to fill the vacancy left by Meena Hwang’s resignation from the Board. Doris Rojas is an Industrial Engineer with 24 years of professional experience in business consulting, working on topics such as Strategic Planning, Redesign of Processes, Informatic Projects, and Human Resources. Currently, she serves as the director of the Center for Information and Communication Technologies at the Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria, where she has taught courses such as Planning and Strategic Direction, Organization Projects and Methods, Human Resources Management, and Redesign of Processes. I am pleased to report Prof. Rojas’ acceptance of this appointment, which will last until next May’s annual election, when the OCWC membership will elect a director to complete the term.
Meena Hwang resigned her position on the OCWC Board of Directors last month, subsequent to resigning fro her position at Korea University. An OCWC Director is required to be an officer, director, trustee or employee of an OCWC member organization. Directors officially resign upon ceasing to be related to the members with which they were affiliated at the time of their election.
