19 Aug '14

Hello, I'm pleased to announce that Wikimedia DC will be holding an election of our Board of Directors over the course of the next six weeks. The Board is responsible for managing the business affairs of the organization in accordance with the Bylaws. If you are interested in regional Wikimedia outreach, I encourage you to run for the Board. Members are elected to the Board each year in a staggered pattern. This year, we will be electing four directors for two-year terms. Full details regarding the election, including instructions for candidates and voters, are available on our website at http://wikimediadc.org/wiki/Internal:Board_election_(2014). A summary of some key points: (1) Candidates and voters must be current members of Wikimedia DC to participate in the election. If you haven't renewed your membership from last year, you will need to do so by September 1. For more information on paying member dues, see http://wikimediadc.org/wiki/Membership. (2) Candidates must submit their nomination package, including certifications of eligibility, mandatory disclosures, and candidate statements, to the Election Committee by September 1. (3) Ballots will be distributed on September 2. Voters who wish to request electronic ballots must do so by September 1; the same deadline applies to voters who will be receiving paper ballots and wish to update their mailing address. (4) All completed ballots -- whether paper or electronic -- must be received by close-of-business September 30 in order to be counted. Please send any questions regarding the election to the Election Committee at election(a)wikimediadc.org. On behalf of the Election Committee, Kirill Lokshin -- Kirill Lokshin Secretary, Wikimedia District of Columbia http://wikimediadc.org
