✅ DECISIONS

A new vice-chair has been appointed! Jake Orlowitz will serve in this role and is currently acting as a consultant to BHL to oversee the Wikimedian-in-Residence solicitation process. Thank you so much Jake for your support of BHL's wiki efforts ❤️

Please come next time to finalize the Wikimedian-in-Residence SoW so that we can begin the process of solicitation. 🎉 As a reminder all candidates will need to register as an entity with sam.gov. Please contact JJ or Jake if you have any questions about how to do this.
