There you go! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Netha Hussain <nethahuss...@gmail.com> Date: Sun, Nov 16, 2014 at 10:40 AM Subject: [Adacamp Alumni] The WMF Board of Trustees is looking for a new Board member To: adacamp-alu...@lists.adainitiative.org
Dear all, Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that operates Wikipedia and its sister projects, is looking for a new board member. Half of the members of this board are currently women [1]. Being a volunteer at Wikimedia interested in involving more women in administrative areas of open tech, I'd love to see yet another woman getting selected to the Board. If you know someone who might find this job interesting, please nominate them to the Board of Trustees. Or better, if you are interested in joining the board, nominate yourself!

The Board Governance Committee is leading the search to fill the position on behalf of the Board. Please spread the word to those you would like to see on the Board! The Board functions as a governance body that is ultimately responsible for the Wikimedia Foundation and its activities, supervises the disposition and solicitation of donations, and oversees the management of the organization. To find out more about the responsibilities and workings of the Board you can have a look at the Board handbook.[1] We are seeking a trustee who is a leader in their field and who is committed to Wikimedia's values.[2] We are also particularly looking for someone with technical experience, who can bring expertise with strategic development and technical organizations to the Board. As always, the Board values diversity in its members. Appointments are for a two-year term and involve 3-4 in-person meetings throughout the year, at least two in San Francisco, as well as online work and participation in a Board committee. If you would like to suggest a name or nominate someone, please contact Ewen McAlpine at emcalp...@wikimedia.org, who is handling initial contact for the committee. Kind regards, María Chair, Board Governance Committee [1] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_Handbook [2] http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Values _______________________________________________ Please note: all replies sent to this mailing list will be immediately directed to Wikimedia-l, the public mailing list of the Wikimedia community.
