Congratulations on a successful General Assembly, welcome to the new board members, and thanks to the existing members for your continued service. I'm looking forward to working with you all! Thanks also to the departing members for your years of service. Nataliia, I also appreciated this helpful introduction!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [WMCEE-l] Wikimedia Ukraine’s Board
Welcome, new board members, and thank you for your service, departing members. And thank you, Nataliia, for taking the time to introduce them to folks who haven't had the opportunity to get to know them in person. A.
