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.

You can find her as [[:wikipedia:User:Metabrarian|User:Metabrarian]] on Wikimedia projects and [http://twitter.com/tiffanysmith @tiffanysmith] on Twitter.
