Hi everyone,
The 2021 Board of Trustees election <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021> opens 4 August 2021. Candidates from the community were asked to submit their candidacy. After a three week long call for candidates, there are 20 candidates for the 2021 election <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021#Candidate_Table> . The Wikimedia movement has the opportunity to vote for the selection of community-and-affiliate trustees. The Board is expected to select the four most voted candidates to serve as trustees. Voting closes 17 August 2021. The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees> oversees the Wikimedia Foundation's operations. The Board wants to improve their competences and diversity as a team. They have shared the areas of expertise <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Candidates#Skills> that they are currently missing and hope to cover with new trustees. How can you get involved? Learn more about candidates <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Candidates#Candidate_Table>.
