Congratulations Dominic! Your background and experience make you an excellent choice for
this role.
My Smithsonian colleagues and I were just talking about how we'd like to be involved
in planning (and possibly hosting) a Women's History Month themed GLAM-wiki event in
March 2013. Let's talk!
Best,
Sara

Subject: [wikimedia-dc] Dominic McDevitt-Parks joins Wikimedia DC as Cultural Partnerships
Coordinator
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
