This year we have changes to each of the Officer roles. As of today's meeting, I was fortunate to be appointed Chair of the Board - and I'm grateful to have the support of the Board in this new role.. Stuart West was appointed Vice-chair (and continues as Board Treasurer), and Samuel Klein becomes Board Secretary.

Also, the Wikimedia chapters have made their selections for the two chapters-selected Board seats. Arne Klempert has been reappointed to his seat, and Phoebe Ayers has also been appointed to join the Board.
This means that Michael Snow will be leaving the Board: he has been invited to join the Advisory Board, and the Board warmly thanks him for his service.

Congratulations to all the new officers, Phoebe for her selection/election and Arne for his reelection. With the growth of the foundation and the projects that is expected in the coming year(s) I don't envy the position you guys are all in but greatly admire the willingness you all have to help and guide the foundation down a path that I think could be both bumpy and vastly important.
Good luck Michael and thank you for all your work (again a big time of growth within the foundation and projects). We better keep seeing you around. :)
