| Neden Wikimedia Vakfı Mütevelli Heyeti'ne adaysınız? Ne gibi bir katkınız olsun isterdiniz? Ne hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinmek istersiniz? | Yönetim Kurulunda görev yapmanın, 2030 Hareket Stratejisinin Önerileri ve Girişimlerinin 'stratejik taahhüt' (örneğin, Yıllık Plan Süreci) almasını sağlamanın en iyi yolu olduğuna inanıyorum. Topluluğun bakış açılarının CEO, personel ve Yönetim Kurulu ile yapılan stratejik görüşmelerde ele alınmasını sağlamak için görüşmeleri, kampanyaları ve konferansları dinleyerek ve bunlara katılarak, Hareket'e fayda sağladığında veya etkilediğinde yön veya önceliklerdeki değişiklikleri savunarak derinlemesine bağlı bir Wikimedia gönüllüsü olmaya devam edeceğim. | |
| Lütfen Wikimedia deneyiminizi açıklayın (Wikimedia projelerine katkılar, Wikimedia kuruluşlarına veya iştiraklerine üyelikler, Wikimedia Hareketi organizatörü olarak faaliyetler veya bir Wikimedia hareketi müttefik kuruluşuna katılım gibi). | Editör
Vikipedistler: DYK sayısına göre #5'; Madde sayısına göre İlk 100; Düzenleme sayısına göre İlk 150. Yeni Sayfa Devriyesi yorumcuları arasında: #7. 2016'da Yılın Vikipedisti unvanı sahiplerinden biri ; Kısmen Vikipedi çalışmalarım nedeniyle 2018'de Şövalye ünvanı.
- Organizatör': Düzenlenen etkinlikler, komiteler vb. listesi | |
| Sizin bakış açınıza göre, Wikimedia Vakfı önümüzdeki 5-10 yıl içinde nelere öncelik vermeli ve neden bunları en önemli öncelikler olarak görüyorsunuz? | Üzerinde "WWHSD?" yazan silikon bir bileklik takıyorum: (What Would Hari Seldon Do? - Hari Seoldon Ne Yapardı?). Bu kurgusal karakterin uzak geleceği düşündüğü ve planladığı gibi, ben de Wikimedia Hareketimizin uzak geleceği hakkında düşünüyorum... Bundan 10-100 yıl sonrasını. Dolayısıyla, şunları öncelik vermemiz gereken İlk Dört alan olarak görüyorum:
Neden?: Dünyanın bizden beklediği şeyin bu olduğuna ve tüketicilerin (okuyucular, sanal asistanlar, sohbet robotları, vb.), editörlerin, katkı sağlayıcıların, organizatörlerin, ortakların ve bağışçıların bizden bunu istediğine inanıyorum. | |
| Optional questions - Professional Experience, Skills and Education | ||
| Please describe your experience with governing bodies of organizations (nonprofit or for-profit), mentioning the scope of your responsibilities, as well as the complexity of the organization (in terms of scale of operations, budget, number of people involved, or other meaningful measures) and the size of the board or body. | 1. Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees (2021-present). Elected in 2021 for a 3 year term. I serve as Chair, Talent & Culture Committee. Member: Executive Committee and Community Affairs Committee; also, Sibling Projects Task Force. Previously: Governance and Audit Committees.
2. Board of Directors, Wikimedia District of Columbia (WMDC) (multi-state programmatic operations of a 501(c)(3) public charity) (2016-2021). Appointed, 2016. Vice-President, 2017-2021. Among my responsibilities: Human Resources and Friendly Space. 3. Co-founder, Women in Red (established July 2015).

| Please describe your professional career experience. | Professional career: healthcare industry. Since 1990, I worked for a large corporation (national; later international) that provides healthcare services: administrator, contract management, talent acquisition. Memberships: PMI SHRM, and ERE. Retired in 2016.
In 2017, I became a Wikipedia Visiting Scholar at Northeastern University's Digital Scholarship Group. My work focuses on pre-20th-century, trans-Atlantic, English-language women writers and their works (on Wikipedia and also a Wikidata project). Unpaid position. | |
| Please briefly describe 3 situations that show how you tackled, or advised others on, a complex problem in an organization. How did you work with others to address the situations? | 1. I helped bring together leaders from WM-CA, WM-DC, WM-MX, and WM-NYC during Wikimania Esino Lario (June 2016) to coordinate WCNA 2016 as a regional conference (previously, it was US-based). Together, we developed plans for it to occur in October and I agreed to be a co-grantee. It was a success (4 days; 7 tracks; >300 attendees).
2. In November 2020, the WCNA Core Team was still unable to decide whether to facilitate an online-only conference before the end of the year (e.g., COVID pandemic) because we were inexperienced with such a model. I suggested that the learnings from facilitating an online-only conference could be incorporated in future WCNAs so we don't have to be perfect this time; it's okay to take the risk and make mistakes. A successful virtual WCNA 2020 occurred in December (3 days; 4 tracks; >150 attendees) with several learnings. | |
| Please describe your educational background, including degrees, certificates, and courses of study finished, and their relevance to board work. | BA in Business Management, and later, an MBA degree. Also, post-graduate certificate in "Healthcare Executive Leadership". More recently: Board Leadership Development Program (2022), Team Dynamics/Board Practice Series (2023), and Essential Facilitation (2024).
Relevance: MBA degree is quite relevant as the Board's mission is to focus on organizational strategy, a central component of this degree. | |
| Please add any relevant links describing your professional background, experience, profile (such as LinkedIn, staff page, etc.). | - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosiestephenson/ | |
| Optional questions - Leadership Experience | ||
| Please describe ways in which you have helped to form a bridge between multiple communities (such as by working on projects outside your home wiki, or working on a collaboration between multiple affiliates). | 1. Wikimania 2023: co-founded WikiWomenSummit x Wikimania (WWS). "Building bridges" day for strategy, skill-building, leadership development, celebrations. Goal: repeat WWS at future Wikimanias, shifting format to support each year's unique ideas/requirements/Core Team/attendees.
2. Helped develop ideas on the Community Health Working Group (2018-20). 3. Elected to the Affiliations Committee (2016-2021). Served on its Conflicts Committee all years. Officer (Secretary, 2017; Chair, 2020-21). 4. In 2016, I ideated that WCNA become an Affiliate to retain/incorporate learnings into future convenings. To date, WCNA is the only conference-based Affiliate. | |
| Can you describe a policy, on wiki or off, that you helped to create or change? What did you learn from this experience? | ||
| How have you been able to empower people to make their voices heard? | Create safe spaces; provide opportunities for dialogue; inspire and encourage to build on it. Example: at
WikiWomenSummit x Wikimania 2024, we will soft-launch a new concept: WikiWomenSummit X Lunch, which empowers women at regional wikiconferences to convene lunchtime meetups (program, scope, time, format varying with each iteration). | |
| Sometimes in professional situations, there are personality conflicts. Explain how you remain productive even with personality conflicts. | Listen and learn before reacting; remain polite and civil; focus on issues. Understand that perceptions vary; we don't all see things the same way. | |
| Optional questions - Strategic Thinking | ||
| Where do you see the need for greater diversity in the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees or within the movement? What steps would you take to improve diversity on the Board or within the movement? What steps would you recommend the Board take to improve diversity? | Current Trustees incorporate gender and age diversity (for transparency, I'm 70 years old); represent four continents. An "Advisory Board" would bring additional perspectives. Historically, an "Advisory Board" existed. Currently, "Volunteer Advisory Members" serve on the Board's Governance and Audit Committees, plus the Community Affairs Committee's Sister Projects Task Force -- but this is different than an "Advisory Board". This would be a possible approach to provide opportunities for Wikimedians in underrepresented parts of the world, e.g., with representation from each region (per "Regional Grants Committees" alignment). | |
