[Board] Welcome Victoria Rautenbach as new Chair of the GeoForAll initiative

[Helena Mitasova]

Victoria,

Welcome from me as well, I am very much looking forward to working with you supporting the geoforall initiative

I wanted to ask about the website - I tried to get back to updating the wiki 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Edu_current_initiatives#sortable_table_id_0 <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Edu_current_initiatives#sortable_table_id_0>

based on what is new on the website (I know there is a couple new labs missing in the wiki table)
https://www.osgeo.org/geo-for-all-labs/ <https://www.osgeo.org/geo-for-all-labs/>

But I found that the form probably uses the contact names instead of labs names, so we need find a way how to fix it. 
Also I got an email from Kurt Menke (Birds Eye View GIS, lab #89 in wiki table) who has done amazing work developing material for Geoacademy and QGIS saying that he has submitted the form some time ago and he is still not listed on the website, so I am wondering whether there may be more of the forms that need to be approved. As an OSGeo charter member 
he may be able to add and edit his entry directly as he has access but there may be others who cannot do it.

Best regards, Helena
