Hi Wiki-Yorkers,
We are reaching out as part of our community-building efforts at Wikimedia
NYC. Our regional group is engaged in a strategic planning process to
sharpen our strategy for the next three years, and we would like your
input. Given your connection to us and your experience with Wikimedia NYC,
I would be grateful if you would be willing to share some of your
perspectives and insights as we think about our next chapter.
Attached is an anonymous survey, which will remain active until February
28. Responses will go directly to Barretto Consulting and the Wikimedia NYC
board will receive responses in aggregate and to identify cross-cutting
themes. Please take some time to answer it and share your thoughts with us.

Thanks,
