Apart from the main Board of Trustees we have the following committees:

Board committees

These are standing sub-committees of the board, with a membership limited to trustees.

• The Governance Committee, which focuses on monitoring and advising on best practice in charity and corporate governance, succession-planning, and the competence and performance of the Board and individual trustees.
• The Audit and Risk Committee, which focuses on the effectiveness of the charity's financial control systems and on all aspects of risk-mitigation.

Non-board committees

These are special-interest committees, and will normally include non-trustee members.

• The Conference Committee, which focuses on Wikimedia conferences that take place in the UK, including the annual WikiConference UK and Wikimania 2014.
• The Education Committee, which focuses on work with the educational sector, including secondary and university education.
• The GLAM Committee, which focuses on work with the cultural sector (GLAM is Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums).
• The Technology Committee, which focuses on developing MediaWiki and other open software tools used by Wikimedia UK.
• The Grants Committee, focused on our Grants process.

These committees should formally be referred to as the "Wikimedia UK <name> Committee"; they may internally also be referred to as subcommittees of WMUK.
