Please join Wikimedia NYC for our Members’ Meeting <
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Election_2023> on
September 20, 2023. The Members' Meeting is similar to other WikiWednesday
meetups, except that its primary function is to elect a new Board of
Directors.
We will elect five or so board seats. After being elected, those elected
can potentially appoint more seats.
If you've been active in the chapter and looking for ways to deepen your
engagement, consider putting yourself forward! If you know someone who you
think would be a good fit for the Wikimedia NYC Board, encourage them to
self-nominate, too! The deadline to nominate yourself is September 13.
Voting (open to all chapter members) will be via a secure third party
service, and will be possible both online and in-person, in a period
starting a couple of days before. Your email address will be required to
vote in order to validate members, but your vote itself will be anonymous.
The meetup page
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Election_2023> has some
additional information for prospective candidates.
Please respond directly to this email if you have any questions about the
election or running for chapter board.
Thanks,
Richard
