Statement of interest.

"The OLH continues to be an inspiration and exemplar in doing equitable and sustainable OA right. From its start, OLH has provided visionary leadership during, what has turned out to be, an accelerating transition to OA. Importantly, OLH has managed to innovate successfully both with its technology and business model. Iowa State has been a strong supporter of OLH and an advocate for equitable open approaches and open infrastructure. We were also one of the first US adopters of OLH’s Janeway platform and have remained an active development partner ever since. As an advisory board member, I would bring background working with OLH, OA model and library market expertise, and a passion and track record for supporting and advancing equitable OA approaches. I would be honored to serve at this time of transition for OLH when it will be embarking on its sustainable growth journey."
