User:James Hare

I am James Hare, the President of Wikimedia DC. I have served on the Board of Directors since May 7, 2011 and as President since March 9, 2013.

In the manner of my colleague User:Econterms I will use this page to take notes about my Wikimedia DC activity.

Wishlist

• Communications committee members and corresponding plan
• Tax exempt status paperwork
• CRM Now the hard work of making it useful!
• Strategic plan interviewing process (as first step toward strategic plan)
• Centralized data collection and storage system (for edit-a-thon data and the like) – perhaps we could use Qualtrics?
• Fundraising plan
• Wiki Loves Monuments plan
• Community outreach and engagement plan (and members for the Community Programs Committee)
• Committee mailing lists
