Hi all,
I'm on the DC Chapter Board with Katie. Thanks for giving us an
opportunity to discuss this.
To Joanna's and others' questions (particularly in the DC area, but
anyone's welcome!): one of the best ways to help out would be to
join the Chapter, participate in events, and help us find ways to
include more diverse voices in Wikipedia and other Wiki projects.
Most importantly, consider running for a leadership position in the
future - our chapter needs leaders who care about these issues and
actively look for opportunities to address them and advocate for
improvement.
More generally, Wikimedia DC looks forward to helping
increase female participation. Indeed, two members of the Board
are women, all of our Board members recognize the importance of
these issues, and we continue to invite in more women to Wiki
projects through the multiple outreach projects we are hosting in
our community.
Please feel free to reach out to any of us directly...especially if
you want to get involved!
Best,
Tiffany

have not become active in the
DC chapter. Is there some way I could help out?

sooo, i've heard some buzz
about what is going on in the d.c.
chapter, and I've been thinking of writing a post about it, bc
frankly if the buzz is accurate, i'm a little disappointed. Does
anyone know what is going on there? Thought this might be a good
place to ask before I open my big mouth.
