Dear Wiki-Yorkers,
As a reminder, Wikimedia New York City's annual Members' Meeting is
scheduled for 7PM tonight, September 28th on Zoom. The Member's Meeting is
similar to other WikiWednesday meetups, except that its primary function is
to elect a new Board of Directors.
This is the first Members' Meeting since before the pandemic lockdown, and
we have emerged with an exciting vision for the future of Wikimedia NYC and
a new strategic plan to help us implement it. More information is available
via the meetup page at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Election_2022. We hope
to see you tonight!
Yours,
Megs

new Board of Directors.
We will elect five board seats. After being elected, those five people can
appoint up to four more (for a total of up to nine).
This is the first Members' Meeting since before the pandemic lockdown, and
we have emerged with an exciting vision for the future of Wikimedia NYC and
a new strategic plan to help us implement it. 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!

Contact Richard Knipel (richard(a)wikimedianyc.org) if you have questions
about your membership. Joining/renewing before the 28th is appreciated for
technical reasons.
Voting will be via a secure third party service. Your email address will be
required to vote in order to validate members, but your vote itself will be
anonymous. If you cannot attend the meeting, proxy voting is not allowed,
but the voting system will be open for 24 hours on the day of September

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Election_2022/Nominations>

half before the meeting to ensure voters sufficient time to read about the

additional information for prospective candidates.
We hope to see you then!
