Hello everyone,
Wikimedia South Africa will be having our Annual General Meeting (AGM)
on *Saturday
18 November 2023*.
We will be having it a little earlier than usual this year, starting at 9am
SAST, so in-person attendees who flew in for the chapter retreat and
strategic design workshop can fly out on the same day in the evening.
If you intend to attend the AGM then please fill out the attendance form:
https://forms.gle/yg8bKW3nxujGV1mm6
If you will not be attending or feel you might not be able to attend but
would like to nominate a proxy to represent you then you can nominate your
proxy on the attendance form:
https://forms.gle/yg8bKW3nxujGV1mm6
Once you have filled out the form your name will be added to the attendance
list and a calendar invite will be sent to you. That calendar invitation
will contain a link to attend digitally. We will also send out an AGM
reminder email closer to the date with that attendance link to attend
digitally.
If you are interested in joining the strategic retreat in Johannesburg the
run up to the AGM (15, 16, 17 November 2023) then please contact Shupai
Mchuchu <shupai.mchuchu(a)wikimedia.org.za> or see the followup email about
it that we will send out later.
You can see the AGM agenda on the AGM 2023 page, the minutes of the AGM
will be recorded there once the meeting is over. You can see the 2023 AGM

In preparation for the AGM you can read our annual report for 2022/23 which
details the chapter's activities between July 2022 and June 2023 as well as
the 2022 AGM minutes. Since then we have done additional projects such as
Wiki Indaba, Botswana affiliate support, the SADiLaR language outreach
initiative, and the Afrikaans Wikipedia outreach initiative. Presentations
on chapter projects after June 2023 will be given at the AGM.
