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.
