I personally state my WIkimedia work on my CV as voluntary work, as many of us do. As part of that I would probably note, when my application is processed, 'member of Wikimedia UK'. But I don't think I would put that on if I wasn't also a Wikimedian, a volunteer.

Good point. I was at meeting yesterday were both volunteer effort and LETS exchanges should be included in the accounts of a charity....

I guess you could say that any part of the chain:
Wiki{p,m}edia Editor / Contributor -> Member -> Director (Trustee)
is worth putting down, at least to show what you do outside 9 to 5.
And recall the Trustees of charity are volunteers by law.
BTW, "member" is a defined term in charity law (and I know the "Wikimedia UK" Directors are fully conversant with the law).
