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.	Here are some highlights of board work: - Elected Commissioner, Metro Parks Tacoma, 2010 to 2022. $50+ million annual budget, with hundreds of staff and dozens of parks and programs to manage. A board of five elected officials. I served as Board President for two years. - Nonprofit board consultant, 2009 - present. Working with nonprofit boards all over the United States, usually for organizations with annual budgets in the hundreds of thousands or low millions and boards ranging from 5 to 15. - Board Member, Grunewald Guild, 2016 to 2022. Including serving as Treasurer, Vice President, and President. A small arts-focused nonprofit retreat center. Board size of 7 to 10. - Board Member & Treasurer, Association of Fundraising Professionals – South Sound Chapter, 2017 – 2019. Board size of 10+. - Alumni Council Member, Carleton College, 2010 to 2014. Board size of 20+, advising the college, which has an annual budget of hundreds of millions. - Board Member, Foundation for Tacoma Students, 2013 to 2014.

Board president for one year, during which time I lead the effort to combine the nonprofit with the Foundation for Tacoma Students, which included getting approval from three government bodies. - Board Member, First Night, 2003 – 2004. A small local nonprofit.
Please describe your professional career experience.	I have spent more than 20 years working with nonprofits. In addition to serving as the director of two nonprofits, I have served as an Interim Executive Director twice and worked for nonprofits in marketing and fundraising. I have also served on boards and committees for more than a dozen organizations, often in leadership roles, and several times during a capital campaign. I am the author of four books for nonprofits, focusing on nonprofit management, fundraising, social media, and board governance. In addition, I served for more than 12 years in elected office on the board of Metro Parks Tacoma, a junior municipality with an annual operating budget of $50+ million. Currently, I work for my local NPR affiliate radio station as the Director of Audience Development. As a prolific writer, I have written many science fiction and mystery novels, and even a play or two.
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?	My work on boards is, by definition, group work. For example, I helped launch a capital campaign while on one board, which involved a lot of complex situations, emotions, and painstaking process. From 2013 to 2018, I led a grassroots campaign in Tacoma to remember science fiction author and Tacoma native Frank Herbert with a park named after him in Tacoma. This was a broad community effort, leading in the successful creation of Dune Peninsula, named after his landmark novel.
Please describe your educational background, including degrees, certificates, and courses of study finished, and their relevance to board work.	Bachelor of Arts in English from Carleton College in Minnesota
Please add any relevant links describing your professional background, experience, profile (such as LinkedIn, staff page, etc.).	https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikhanberg/, https://ErikHanberg.com, https://ForSmallNonprofits.com,
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).
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?
Sometimes in professional situations, there are personality conflicts. Explain how you remain productive even with personality conflicts.
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?	I recognize that I come from a position of privilege as a white male who grew up speaking English. It’s my belief that nonprofit boards should aim to reflect the diversity of the population they serve. I would seek greater racial and geographic diversity on the board.
