Hello everyone,

I'm very pleased to announce that Dominic McDevitt-Parks will be joining Wikimedia DC as our new Cultural Partnerships Coordinator!

I expect that most of you already know Dominic, who has been a long-time Wikimedian and a regular participant in events both within the DC area and elsewhere.  Dominic has graciously offered us the benefit of his immense experience with building partnerships between cultural institutions and the Wikimedia movement, most notably in during his tenure as the Wikipedian-in-Residence at the National Archives and Records Administration.

In his new position as Cultural Partnerships Coordinator, Dominic will report directly to the Board of Directors of Wikimedia DC.  He will have number of responsibilities, including serving as a point of contact for DC-area cultural institutions and professionals looking for guidance from Wikimedia; facilitating communication and sharing of best practices among professionals and Wikimedians and between the two groups; helping to initiate and evaluate partnerships between institutions and Wikimedia DC, as appropriate, in the interest of the chapter's goals and the Wikimedia movement as a whole; and serving as the bridge between the Wikimedia DC community and the global GLAM-Wiki community.

Please join me in welcoming Dominic to his new role!

Cheers,
Kirill
