[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Ukraine's board and officers
Hello! Wikimedia Ukraine had its General Assembly on February 16, 2019 and we have elected new Board and Audit Committee [1]. We have been working on changes in our organisation for quite a while now with the help of Wikimedia Foundation grantmaking staff: 1) for a while we have had our General Assembly (GA) at the end of the calendar and financial year, which was an issue for us, as we (according to the Bylaws) can have a 100% new Board elected by the membership, and that means, that we need to finish all our financial transactions before the GA in case a new Board Chair and Secretary are elected (they are the ones who have the access to the bank account), so last year we have decided to have a GA at the end of a year (December) and the next one in February, to switch to a cycle starting February-February, rather than December-December. This is now done. 2) we have finally started working on a Board handbook [2], documenting our processes as we go, trying to get it all in a system. This document is a direct outcome from the Affiliate Chairpersons meeting in Prague [3] [4], and we are very grateful that Tim Moritz and Frans Grijzenhout continue dedicating their time to sharing knowledge in the Movement. 3) we had our first Strategy session on February 15 (before the GA) and are planning to have a two-day strategy session in June. 4) we are planning to have our first ever training on teambuilding and onboarding for Board members, Audit Committee members and staff on March 24-25, 2019. Onboarding and capacity building are our priorities as of now. This complements community-wide trainings we've had this past year during our national Wikiconference and the CEE Meeting, which we hosted this year in Lviv [5]. That said, the new Board consists of: * [[User:Ilya]], Illia Korniiko. I have been Chair since December 2015. Re-elected. * [[User:JTs]], Yulianna Tsaruk. She is First Deputy Chair and Secretary of the Board. Re-elected. * [[User:NickK]], Mykola Kozlenko. He is Deputy Chair and Treasurer since 2016. Re-elected. * [[User:Наталія Ластовець]], Nataliia Lastovets. She is responsible for our program "Content Enrichment" [6], which includes editing challenges and contests, photography contests and GLAM. She has joined our organisation in July 2018. She was also a member of the Audit Committee for two months. It is her first term serving on the Board. * [[User:IgorTurzh]], Igor Turzhanskyy. He is responsible for our program "Increasing Participation", which includes Wikipedia in Education. He is a long-term Wikipedian but he has joined our organisation only in November 2018. It is his first term serving on the Board. * [[User:Friend]], Pavlo Sokhan. He is responsible for our program "Community Support and Development", which includes community events, trainings for volunteers, scholarships and microgrants. Re-elected. * [[User:Олександр Гаврик]], Oleksandr Havryk. He is responsible for our program "Awareness for Wikimedia and Free Knowledge", which is concentrated on media publicity and promotion activities and free panorama advocacy. He has joined our organisation only in October 2018. It is his first term serving on the Board. I want to thank the three Board members who stepped down: Yuri Bulka / [[User:Юрій Булка]], Olha Nesterenko / [[User:Нестеренко Оля]] and Andrii Hrytsenko / [[User:Андрій Гриценко]]. Being a board member means taking upon oneself more boring responsibilities, so their work and dedication is much appreciated. Our new Audit Committee: * [[User:Venzz]], Viacheslav Mamon * [[User:Tohaomg]], Anton Obozhyn * [[User:Anntinomy]], Anna Khrobolova. She was our project manager for a few years, but she has decided to stay with us in her volunteer role. Anatolii Honcharov / [[User:Ahonc]] and Serhii Petrov / [[User:Kharkivian]] have stepped down from the Audit committee and we are grateful for their work while there.
