Congratulations
Dominic! Your background and experience make you an
excellent choice for this role.
My
Smithsonian colleagues and I were just talking about how
we’d like to be involved in planning (and possibly hosting)
a Women’s History Month themed GLAM-wiki event in March
2013. Let’s talk!
Best,

Subject: [wikimedia-dc] Dominic McDevitt-Parks joins
Wikimedia DC as Cultural Partnerships Coordinator
I'm very pleased to announce that
Dominic McDevitt-Parks will be joining Wikimedia DC as our
new Cultural Partnerships Coordinator!
I expect that most of you already know
Dominic, who has been a long-time Wikimedian and a regular
participant in events both within the DC area and
elsewhere. Dominic has graciously offered us the benefit
of his immense experience with building partnerships
between cultural institutions and the Wikimedia movement,
most notably in during his tenure as the
Wikipedian-in-Residence at the National Archives and
Records Administration.
In his new position as Cultural
Partnerships Coordinator, Dominic will report directly to
the Board of Directors of Wikimedia DC. He will have
number of responsibilities, including serving as a point
of contact for DC-area cultural institutions and
professionals looking for guidance from Wikimedia;
facilitating communication and sharing of best practices
among professionals and Wikimedians and between the two
groups; helping to initiate and evaluate partnerships
between institutions and Wikimedia DC, as appropriate, in
the interest of the chapter's goals and the Wikimedia
movement as a whole; and serving as the bridge between the
Wikimedia DC community and the global GLAM-Wiki community.
Please join me in welcoming Dominic to
his new role!
