Dear all,
As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has two
appointed Board members whose terms will expire during Wikimania 2018 -
Kelly Battles and Alice Wiegand. We have been working to fill those seats
and our goal is for potential candidates to join us in Cape Town during
Wikimania 2018.
== Finance expert seat ==
This is a very specific profile: we need a person with strong financial
management background and auditing skills. The BCG (Board Governance
Committee) is currently interviewing a short list of candidates prepared by
Kelly Battles and Jaime Villagomez (the CFO of Wikimedia Foundation). Once
interviews are complete, the BCG will send their recommendations to the
full Board.
== Technology/organizational growth expert seat ==
Over the last few months, we have conducted a series of conversations on
Board expertise needs. With the support of Katherine Maher (ED) and Josh
Weinberg (Chief of Staff), the BGC developed a candidate profile for the
soon-to-be-vacant seat and gave its recommendation to the Board during
their meeting in Berlin. We need your help to identify potential candidates
for this position who are interested in serving the Wikimedia community as
a member of the Board of Trustees.
We shall begin accepting applications and referrals for these positions
today. A more detailed timeline of the full recruitment process is
available on Meta here:

can find the candidate package here [2].
Applicants may apply online at:

We will also accept applications and referrals by email at
board-nominations(a)lists.wikimedia.org.
We look forward to hearing from you.
