Hi all,
It is with great pleasure for me to announce the inaugural Wikimedia Kenya board that comprises of:
Alex Wafula Ann Njeri David Mugo Oscar Limoke Stephen Wanjau
The Board's got a diverse range of experience -- with folks working in the government sector, internet industry, financial expertise and leadership skills.
I think that they're a good fit for our egalitarian, international, non-profit culture. And we've got a woman on the Board, which matters to me because we will have someone to relate to, when it comes to gender-gap issues :)
Many thanks to those who assisted in the elections process: Chris, Branton, Cliff & Oliver. And many thanks to all the nominees who took their time to submit their candidature and also answer our questions.
Let's all welcome our new Board as they orient themselves in their new roles.
Thanks, Abbas.
PS -- Note to the Board: I've forwarded your names to be added to Internal & Chapters Mailing Lists. I am also looking into creating your Board Mailing List.
Congratulations to the new board! We wish them God's speed as they take Wikimedia Kenya to great height. I encourage them to keep the pledge they made to the chapter as they sought votes for that's the benchmark with which we will congratulate or reprimand them with at the end of their term.
I pledge to support them where possible.
Regards,
