Among other things, the General Assembly has also elected new Board and Audit Committee [1].

* Anton Obozhyn (user:Tohaomg), responsible for the program "Community Support and Development", which includes community events, training for volunteers, scholarships, and microgrants.
* Olha Milianovych (user:MeOlya), responsible for the programs "Awareness about Wikimedia" and "Advocacy", which are concentrated on media publicity, promotion activities, and free panorama advocacy.
Congratulations to Olha and Ihor, who have been elected to the Board for the first time, and thanks to the outgoing Board's members Pavlo Sokhan and Ihor Turzhanskyi for their service.
Our new Audit Committee consists of:
* Serhii Lypko (user:Сергій Липко)

* Viacheslav Mamon (user:Venzz),
Congratulations to Serhii and Maryna for having been elected to the Audit Committee for the first time, and thanks to outgoing members Oleskandr Havryk and Ihor Makovskyi
We would also like to express our gratitude to WMF Trust and Safety team who have helped us organise the elections via SecurePoll on vote.wikimedia.org. Although the extension recently started to be in active development phase again, it is currently rather difficult to manage and we are very happy that the team has provided us very extensive support.
Best regards,
Bohdan Melnychuk (Base)
Secretary of the Board, Wikimedia Ukraine
