Congratulations to the new board! We wish them God's speed as they take
Wikimedia Kenya to great height. I encourage them to keep the pledge they
made to the chapter as they sought votes for that's the benchmark with
which we will congratulate or reprimand them with at the end of their term.
I pledge to support them where possible.
Regards,

Hi all,
It is with great pleasure for me to announce the inaugural Wikimedia Kenya
board that comprises of:
Alex Wafula
Ann Njeri
David Mugo
Oscar Limoke
Stephen Wanjau
The Board's got a diverse range of experience -- with folks working in the
government sector, internet industry, financial expertise and leadership
skills.
I think that they're a good fit for our egalitarian, international,
non-profit culture. And we've got a woman on the Board, which matters to me
because we will have someone to relate to, when it comes to gender-gap
issues :)
Many thanks to those who assisted in the elections process: Chris,
Branton, Cliff & Oliver. And many thanks to all the nominees who took their
time to submit their candidature and also answer our questions.
Let's all welcome our new Board as they orient themselves in their new
roles.
Thanks,
Abbas.
PS -- Note to the Board: I've forwarded your names to be added to Internal
& Chapters Mailing Lists. I am also looking into creating your Board
Mailing List.
