I am very pleased to announce that at our annual general meeting on Saturday 25 July the members of Wikimedia UK elected three new trustees to the board from a very strong slate of candidates.
Please join me in offering a very warm welcome to Doug Taylor, Nick Poole and Josie Fraser.
Doug Taylor will be well known to many readers as a long-standing active Wikimedia volunteer and Lead Trainer for WMUK. He previously served on the board during 2012-13. Doug is a retired teacher and IT professional.
Nick Poole is the Chief Executive Officer of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals. His previous roles include serving as CEO of the Collections Trust and Chair of the Europeana Network. He brings extensive knowledge of and influence in the international GLAM community, and has strong connections to policymakers and funders in the UK and Europe.
Josie Fraser has for the past five years worked in local government as the strategic technology lead of one of the country's largest and most accelerated school building programmes. She is an expert in the relationship between education and technology and a vocal advocate for free and open knowledge.
Existing trustees Greyham Dawes (treasurer) and myself (chair) were re-elected.
Three trustees have stepped down from the board: Alastair McCapra, Saad Choudri and Joseph Seddon. We thank them for their exceptional expertise, commitment and diligence, and we wish them well for the future.
With these changes, the new board is as follows:
Michael Maggs (board chair, and chair of governance committee) Simon Knight (vice chair) Greyham Dawes (treasurer, governance committee, audit and risk committee) Chris Keating (audit and risk committee) Carol Campbell (chair of audit and risk committee) Kate West (governance committee, audit and risk committee) Gill Hamilton Doug Taylor Nick Poole Josie Fraser
The new board will formally meet for the first time on Saturday 12 Septemberat the Bodleian Library, Oxford, where officer roles will be reviewed.
Please join me in welcoming the new board.

Thank you to Michael for the welcome. I am delighted to have been elected to serve alongside my fellow Trustees and I wanted to thank everyone that voted for your support.
I also wanted to thank the team at Wikimedia UK for a really valuable Volunteer Strategy Gathering and AGM on Saturday. It was a very positive experience, and it was excellent to see open and transparent democracy in action!
A couple of short words by way of introduction. I am passionate about open knowledge and have tried to use my career so far to push for it in the GLAM sector and indeed in public life more broadly. I know from experience about some of the barriers to 'going open' and am also starting to see a risk of 'openwash' (flirting with open source for the PR value, but not re-engineering underlying systems attitudes or licenses to promote it as a permanent change). I am really keen to bring these perspectives to supporting both GLAMwiki and the wider wiki programme.
I am a fledgling editor - my username is 'Nickpoole' on Wikipedia and 'Nickpoole12' on the Wikimedia UK wiki. I am also on twitter as @NickPoole1.
I am really looking forward to working with the Board and the Wikimedia UK community to build on the great progress already achieved in recent years and to supporting Lucy and the staff in their work. Please do feel free to contact me and I hope to have the opportunity to meet as many list members as possible over the next 2 years.
With best regards,
Nick
