== Board Elections[edit | edit source] ==
12 noon - End of AGM
Alongside community experience, we would be keen for people to stand with any of the following skills or experience:


* Accounting
== Board elections ==
* External relations
This year we have one vacancy for an elected trustee, and are keen to hear from members of the Wikimedia community in the UK who would be interested in joining the Board. The process for standing for election is detailed [[Board/Becoming a trustee|here]] and the deadline is '''Friday 16th June'''.
* Charity governance
* Working with or in the cultural sector


However this is not essential. What is more important is a commitment to open knowledge and the work of Wikimedia UK, and a willingness to take on the responsibility of being a charity trustee and board director of a limited company. There is more information about what this means here. We strongly value diversity in Wikimedia UK's board of trustees and this year, would particularly encourage younger people (aged under 40) to stand.

We will send out details of the formal process for standing for election nearer the time.

Board elections

This year we have one vacancy for an elected trustee, and are keen to hear from members of the Wikimedia community in the UK who would be interested in joining the Board. The process for standing for election is detailed here and the deadline is Friday 16th June.

What is most important is a commitment to open knowledge and the work of Wikimedia UK, and a willingness to take on the responsibility of being a charity trustee and board director of a limited company. We strongly value diversity in Wikimedia UK's board of trustees.

If you would like an informal conversation with our Chief Executive or one of the trustees about what being on the board involves, and potentially standing for election, please do send an email to infoatwikimedia.org.uk and we will set up a call. Details for standing for election can be found on the Board/Becoming a trustee page and have been sent out to members via email.
