Hi Friends, I am forwarding this message about the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Call for Candidates. Best, Jackie K.

The 2021 Board of Trustees election https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021 is coming soon. Candidates from the community are needed to fill the available seats.

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees oversees the Wikimedia Foundation's operations. Community trustees and appointed trustees make up the Board of Trustees. Each trustee serves a three year term. The Wikimedia community has the opportunity to vote for community trustees.

Wikimedia contributors will vote to fill four seats on the Board in 2021. This is an opportunity to improve the representation, diversity, and expertise of the Board as a team.

Who are potential candidates? Are you a potential candidate? Find out more on the apply to be a candidate https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Apply_to_be_a_Candidate page.
