Dear all
As I think most of you are aware I have been on maternity leave since the
end of March (with my beautiful baby boy arriving on 5th April!), and Sandy
Balfour has been the interim Chief Executive during that time. I returned
to work a few weeks ago but am working part time hours (usually three days
a week) until the New Year, when I'll be back full time.
I've enjoyed my first few weeks back but am still catching up on quite a
lot of things, as I'm sure you'll appreciate. An important piece of work
over the next few months is developing our new three year strategy from 1st
February 2019 - 31st January 2022. I have done some initial work on this
following a short discussion about our future strategic focus at July's
AGM, a board away day in September, and staff discussions; however I'm keen
to ensure that this also takes account of and reflects community concerns
and priorities. With this in mind, I would like to invite interested
volunteers/editors/members to Wikimedia UK's office on *Thursday 13th
December* for a strategic planning discussion. This will be followed by
some festive drinks/nibbles with staff and board (prior to a board meeting
later that evening). The schedule will be:
4 - 5pm - strategy discussions
5 - 6pm - drinks and nibbles
6pm board meeting
I realise that some people may be interested in the chapter's future
strategy but unable to attend the meeting in person, and will be in touch
about other ways in which to contribute; however I wanted to get this date
in people's diaries asap. Please can you email
***@wikimedia.org.uk to let her know if you will be attending
one or both elements. There is no obligation to come to the meeting at 4pm
in order to get a free drink at 5pm...but you are encouraged to do so!
All best wishes
Lucy
