Dear friends of free knowledge,
As of May 1, Wikimedia Nederland is going to have a director: Sandra Rientjes. After a lengthy selection process the Board was able to choose between two candidates, preselected by the professionalization committee.
The Board felt that Sandra Rientjes presented an excellent mix of friendliness, determination and skills. Originally she trained as a sociologist and she has working experience in the non-profit sector, including the national NGO Nature and Environment. In her spare time, she is a volunteer neighborhood mediator. Although she has no experience working on Wikipedia, we feel she will fit in especially well with our organization.
The employment contract was signed on April 21. Initially, Sandra Rientjes will be shown the ropes by Marjon Bakker and others. Frans Grijzenhout and I will be her contacts in the Board. Please welcome her in our big Wikimedia family.
