Ordinary General Assembly

WMB professional team
In-person meeting of the WMB professional team

On February 28th, the WMB Ordinary General Assembly was held, with 18 members of the user group participating remotely. This annual assembly, which is required by our bylaws, aims to provide an equitable environment where members of the user group can access the necessary resources to build and integrate Wiki Movimento Brasil.[1]

During the assembly, we welcomed 8 new members to our user group, bringing the total number of active members in WMB to 40. We also sanctioned improvements in good governance practices, which were previously discussed and proposed in other meetings, as well as approved the balance sheets and fiscal year accounts for 2022. Additionally, a new protocol for travel scholarships for WMB members was approved. We also discussed the implementation of Strategy Committees and reviewed the highlights of the Activities Plan for 2023.

One of the objectives of WMB for the 2023-2025 triennium is to foster an organizational culture of well-being, reflection, and acceptance, continuously developing internal capabilities, in addition to acting in line with the Diversity Plan, collaborative practices of Management Methodology, and Good Governance regulations.
