We’re happy to announce our fourth employee at the UK chapter – Stevie
Benton. Stevie will be taking on the communications role for the
charity. He has worked in non-profit communications for over eight years
in a variety of disciplines, including internal communications, press,
online and multimedia. He believes that education and access to
information are fundamental to the development of humanity.
He’ll be working from the office in Old Street, but believes in being
very hands-on and is looking forward to getting out and meeting as many
Wikimedians, volunteers and partners as possible. Stevie is interested
in all kinds of art, literature and music, enjoys video games and is a
long-suffering fan of the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team.
Over the next few weeks Stevie will be working with Wikipedians to
promote the Monmouthpedia Project in April and our AGM in the Science
Museum in early May. He can be contacted at at
stevie...@wikimedia.org.uk, or by phone on 0207 065 0993.

I am curious to know which non-profits he has worked for.

Again, just curious; this isn't a misguided matter of parochialism...
is he American?
Anyway, welcome Stevie. It should be an interesting job.

Good news and congratulations to Stevie.
Perhaps all the UK chapter staff might like to tell use their
Wiki[m|p]edia user names? Of course that's not obligatory.

couldn't get something to work and would have hated everyone to see me
struggling!!! I like editing but am not (yet) as good at it as
everyone else seems to be.

Thank you for the introduction, Richard.
I'm looking forward to working with you all. I'll be emailing some
people individually over the coming days. In the meantime, if there's
anything you think I can be of help with please do get in touch.
Bodnotbod, thanks for your interest. In answer to your first question,
the non-profit organisations I've worked for include Save the Children,
Big Lottery Fund (a non-departmental public body that works closely with
the third sector), Breast Cancer Care and Asset Skills (a Sector Skills
Council). In answer to your second question, I'm British - but I've
always loved American football! If anyone else has any questions, I'm
more than happy to respond.
Best wishes,
Stevie
