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,

*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
