Could you lead Wikimedia UK to success?

Next year is set to be another big year of growth for Wikimedia UK: we
have just raised over £500,000 in the Wikimedia Annual Fundraiser.
Most of this money will support the technical side of Wikimedia
through donations to the Foundation and the Toolserver. However, we
also plan to use the funds to recruit four more members of staff.
These staff will mean we can scale up our activities, enable more
activity by volunteers and professionalise the chapter. Our own
developer, events organiser, a full time office manager and a chapter
manager pulling everything together will no doubt transform Wikimedia
UK.

However, a key factor in our success will still be the board, which
will continue to lead the chapter and be made up of unpaid volunteers.
It will continue to be elected by our members, ordinary Wikimedians
who support our mission and want to make Wikipedia and free knowledge
even more successful.

Can you help lead the chapter to success in 2011 by standing for
election as a board member? If so, you’re warmly invited to join us on
Saturday 5th February from 5pm where you can find out more about what
is involved in being a board member and have an opportunity to ask any
questions and meet other interested people.

This “board interest day” will take place in central London (venue to
be confirmed). If you are interested please drop me a line to chair @
wikimedia.org.uk to reserve your place. You can also give me a ring on
07403 216 991 if you would like to discuss further.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Andrew Turvey
Chair, Wikimedia UK
