Dear all
Our excellent Chair of Trustees, Nick Poole, will be stepping down at the
AGM in July after six years as a trustee (which is the maximum term) and
just over a year as Chair. We are therefore recruiting for a new Chair, and
are advertising the role externally as well as promoting the opportunity
amongst our existing trustees, committee members, volunteers and wider
networks.
*Please do consider whether this might be the right opportunity for you*.
If so, do feel free to contact our Communications and Governance
Co-ordinator Katie on katie.crampton(a)wikimedia.org.uk to arrange an
informal conversation about the role. If not, we would be very grateful if
you could help us to promote the role by circulating it amongst your own
networks. Katie will be promoting the opportunity on social media so if you
follow us there, please do share/retweet etc.
The ideal candidate might come from a wide range of professional
backgrounds but will have a good understanding of charity governance, the
skills and experience to run productive meetings, and a collegiate,
collaborative approach in keeping with the ethos of the Wikimedia movement.
They will also bring a strong commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
and understand how important this is to an organisation like Wikimedia UK.
It goes without saying that they will need to be passionate about open
knowledge and understand the importance and value of Wikipedia and the
other Wikimedia projects.

June.
Thanks and best wishes
Lucy
