2025:Meetups/Chairpersons Meetup
This is just a get together for all board chairpersons (and their vice-chairs) of affiliates that have one or more employees or are planning to hire one within the next year.
In the past we have had chairpersons meetings at Wikimania, but we really do not get much more done than just getting to know each other a little better (because there is a pretty random selection of chairpersons present). This year we are considering organising a small workshop at Wikimania (60-90 minutes).
The topic of this workshop is "Exchanging experiences on how affiliates are engaging their communities". This will likely be "Session 1 and 2" from this howto guide: Wikimedia_European_Affiliates_Cooperation/Prague_Workshop_April_2025/How_to_guide
It would be helpful if you can register via this very simple form, so we would be able to plan better: Chairpersons meeting at Wikimania. You can also add your name in the section below.
Note: There are a lot of topics with regards to the Wikimedia Affiliates, and funds distribution but there are so many other discussions going on at Wikimania that we decided that we just wanted to have the chance to meet up with other chairs. If you have questions with which we may be able to help, that is what we will reserve time for! Even if we just make connections that is a very worthwhile outcome if you want to continue specific conversations in the future.
