Hey Abbas,
I think the best option could be for you to liaise with one of the Wikimania attendees to stand in for you at the WCA meetup in DC.

Hi all,
There will be a Wikimedia Chapters Association meeting at Wikimania this year and since I wouldn't be going, I think that Wikimedia Kenya should select another WCA representative (preferably from the ones who will be going to Wikimania) so that we can have someone to represent us and update us with WCA.
Yours, Abbas.

Hi all,
Thank you for the support. I would have preferred someone else to take this role due to other personal responsibilities, but since there weren't any other volunteers/nominees, I'll have to take it.

It's main aim is to increase the standards of transparency and accountability and knowledge sharing among member chapters. You can read more about it on the link above
