James Hare has been serving as the Treasurer of Wikimedia DC since its founding on May 7, 2011. A Wikipedia editor since 2004 and administrator since 2006, he has always fancied himself as a WikiGnome, making various odd contributions around Wikipedia without focusing on any particular topic. He is currently focusing his efforts on organizing Wikimania 2012, the international Wikipedia conference, in Washington. As Treasurer, his goal is to secure a diverse base of donors while planning events that will enhance Wikimedia's brand in D.C. He thoroughly enjoys this job.

Originally from the great state of New Jersey, Hare currently studies political science at American University. His Wikipedia username is [http://toolserver.org/~quentinv57/tools/sulinfo.php?username=Harej&showinactivity=1&showblocks=1&showlocked=1 harej], pronounced "hare jay". Despite the seemingly ethnic connotations, this is just his last name and first initial; the origins of this username have been described as "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Harej/Archive13#Important_question deflatingly quotidian]". An enthusiastic Starbucks patron and amateur writer, Hare can also be found on Twitter as [http://twitter.com/harej @harej].

Tiffany Smith first learned about Wikipedia when she was working in a bookstore in 2003, but it took some time for her to stop talking about how neat Wikipedia was and start contributing. Now, Tiffany cares most about trying to ease that transition for others. She is a founding member of Wikimedia DC and an active participant on the Wikimania 2012 committee. You can find her as [[:wikipedia:User:Metabrarian|User:Metabrarian]] on Wikimedia projects and [http://twitter.com/tiffanysmith @tiffanysmith] on Twitter.

A graduate of Fordham University and The Catholic University of America's School of Library and Information Science, her research interests include collaborative sensemaking, information retrieval, and online community behavior. Tiffany Smith is employed by the US Federal Government, but her activities related to Wiki projects and the Wikimedia DC Board are performed in her personal capacity and do not necessary reflect or represent the views of the US Government.
