Hello!
In late February, Wikimedia Ukraine held its General Assembly.
The General Assembly has reviewed the organization's activity in 2019. You can find our 2019 annual report at https://ua.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=7367 (in Ukrainian) or at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Simple/Applications/Wikimedia_Ukraine... (in English, in the form of a grant report).
Among other things, the General Assembly has also elected new Board and Audit Committee [1].
The new Board consists of: * Illia Korniiko (user Ilya), Chair of the Board * Bohdan Melnychuk (user Base), First Deputy Chair and Secretary of the Board * Mykola Kozlenko (user NickK), Deputy Chair and Treasurer * Igor Turzhanskyy (user IgorTurzh), responsible for our program “Content Enrichment”, which includes editing challenges and contests, photography contests and GLAM * Nataliia Lastovets (user EleNte), responsible for the program “Increasing Participation”, which centers on the Wikipedia Education Program, as well as Wikimarathon and diversity initiatives. * Pavlo Sokhan (user Friend), responsible for the program “Community Support and Development”, which includes community events, training for volunteers, scholarships, and microgrants. * Anton Obozhyn (user Tohaomg), responsible for the programs “Awareness about Wikimedia” and “Advocacy”, which are concentrated on media publicity, promotion activities, and free panorama advocacy.
Congratulations to Bohdan and Anton, who have been elected to the Board for the first time, and thanks to the previous Board's members Yulianna Tsaruk and Oleksandr Havryk, who decided not to seek reelection.
Our new Audit Committee consists of three people: * Oleksandr Havryk (user Олександр Гаврик) * Ihor Makovskyi (user Mcoffsky) * Viacheslav Mamon (user Venzz)
Congratulations to Oleksandr and Ihor for having been elected to the Audit Committee for the first time, and thanks to Anna Khrobolova and Anton Obozhyn, who decided to pursue different paths.
On the day before the General Assembly, we held a strategy session to discuss Wikimedia Ukraine's strategic plan for 2020—2022 [2], as well as to give feedback to international Movement Strategy Recommendation. The feedback from participants has been posted on Meta [3].
