Dear all,
Wikimedia Italy had its AGM on April 8. During this meeting, the 2016 Annual Report was approved, and a new Board was elected. Three positions were up for contest and two new people were elected, while one was reconfirmed.
On the same day, the Board appointed the different roles: * Lorenzo Losa - president * Paola Liliana Buttiglione - vice-president (newly elected) * Giuseppe Profti - secretary (newly elected) * Saverio Giulio Malatesta - treasurer (reconfirmed) * Luca Martinelli - projects coordinator
Few words about the new entries: * Paola Liliana is an archaeologist working on local development by promotion of cultural heritage * Giuseppe is a long time Wikipedian, former regional coordinator for Wikimedia Italy, researcher and teacher in Computer Science * Saverio is an archaeologist, extremely interested about open culture, and already stepped in as treasurer since December 2016, when the previous treasurer (Simone Cortesi) resigned.
As for the non-contestant, Lorenzo has been president for the last year and is quite involved into the Wikimedia community (i.e. FDC), while Luca (yet another long-time Wikipedian) served in the board for the last three years, firstly as secretary, and from last year as projects coordinator.
We are sorry to be this late in announcing the new Board, but these months were packed with events and activities. :)
Kind regards,
Giuseppe (on behalf of WM-IT Board)
