Dear all,
As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has two appointed Board members whose terms will expire during Wikimania 2018 - Kelly Battles and Alice Wiegand. We have been working to fill those seats and our goal is for potential candidates to join us in Cape Town during Wikimania 2018.
== Finance expert seat ==
This is a very specific profile: we need a person with strong financial management background and auditing skills. The BCG (Board Governance Committee) is currently interviewing a short list of candidates prepared by Kelly Battles and Jaime Villagomez (the CFO of Wikimedia Foundation). Once interviews are complete, the BCG will send their recommendations to the full Board.
== Technology/organizational growth expert seat ==
Over the last few months, we have conducted a series of conversations on Board expertise needs. With the support of Katherine Maher (ED) and Josh Weinberg (Chief of Staff), the BGC developed a candidate profile for the soon-to-be-vacant seat and gave its recommendation to the Board during their meeting in Berlin. We need your help to identify potential candidates for this position who are interested in serving the Wikimedia community as a member of the Board of Trustees.
We shall begin accepting applications and referrals for these positions today. A more detailed timeline of the full recruitment process is available on Meta here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=10176203 [1]. You can find the candidate package here [2].
Applicants may apply online at: https://boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/1162305?gh_src=8b8yun5r1#.WvaOKP.... We will also accept applications and referrals by email at board-nominations@lists.wikimedia.org.
We look forward to hearing from you.
