Dear all
Many thanks to those of you who attended Wikimedia UK's online AGM
yesterday. For those who weren't there, I wanted to let you know that the
following three candidates received the most votes in the trustee election
and will therefore be appointed (or in Rod's case, reappointed) to the
board:
Caroline Ball

Rod Ward

With huge thanks to all six candidates who put themselves forward for the
board of trustees this year.
At the meeting, Nick Poole also announced that following his departure from
the board (at the end of the meeting, which marked six years since he was
elected as a trustee), Lorna Campbell would be stepping in as Interim Chair
until October. Nick also welcomed our new co-opted trustee and Chair
Elect, Monisha
Shah <https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Board#Monisha_Shah> (who introduced
herself to the meeting).
The four resolutions proposed by the board were unanimously supported.
I will be in touch separately about the Wikimedian of the Year awards and
Honorary Memberships, however I wanted to update you as soon as possible
about the outcome of the trustee election and our Chair Elect.
Best wishes
Lucy
Lucy Crompton-Reid
