Dear all Following Katie's email last month, I would like to warmly invite you to an online meeting next Tuesday 9th November from 3 to 5pm, to explore the future strategy of Wikimedia UK and discuss how the chapter can best serve its community of volunteers, contributors and members. I will be facilitating the call but there will be other staff and trustees attending, including our new Chair, Monisha Shah. This is a key opportunity to help shape the future direction of Wikimedia UK, and I would love to see as many of you there as possible.
The draft agenda for the meeting is as follows: 1. Welcome and introductions 2. Welcome to Monisha Shah, Chair of the Board 3. Overview of process for developing our next three year strategy 4. ‘Wouldn’t it be fantastic if...’ Working in groups then feeding back 5. Focus on community: How can WMUK best serve volunteers? 6. Reflection on the key strategic themes emerging so far 7. Wrapping up As part of the process of developing our next three year strategy, we have held away days with the board and staff team. From these discussions, the following key themes have emerged, which we believe should be core to our programme development and delivery over the next three years: - Knowledge Equity - Information Literacy - Climate Crisis Underpinning our delivery is a set of (draft) strategic pillars, which we believe will help us to achieve the change we want to make in the world. These core themes are: - Community - Advocacy - Communications - Equity, Diversity and Inclusion - Organisational resilience and sustainability Following the meeting next week, I will share the draft strategic framework for 2022 - 2025 for asynchronous feedback. However I think there is real value in discussion, and I’m particularly keen to hear how Wikimedia UK can best (and better) serve our community going forward. Please sign up in advance by adding your name here <https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Strategy_meeting_2022-2025> or emailing katie.cramp...@wikimedia.org.uk. If you have any questions or suggestions about the draft agenda, do feel free to get in touch! Thanks and best wishes Lucy -- Lucy Crompton-Reid Chief Executive
