State Library to share her vision as Executive Director of the Wikimedia
Foundation, the non-profit that operates Wikipedia.

Formerly senior director of CBC.ca, the web platform of the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation, SueGardner now leads the non-profit Wikimedia
Foundation, Inc. which operates numerous online collaborative wiki
projects, and supports a community of roughly 100,000 active volunteer

month, making it the number five most-popular website in the world.

media game changers of the year in 2009, don’t miss this special
opportunity to hear from Sue Gardner on her promise to bring the sum of all
human knowledge to all the people of the world.
