[Foundation-l] Welcome Moka Pantages to the Foundation!

[Jay Walsh]

Hi all,

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of announcing the addition of  
Moka Pantages to the Foundation staff.  We've been busy with all-staff  
meetings, so I haven't had a chance to share this news with you  
earlier.  Moka will report to me, here at our offices in San  
Francisco.  She'll be taking on some specific communications projects,  
supporting staff on their communications needs, and hopefully leading  
some new initiatives with the chapters.  You may start seeing her name  
on the lists and on the WMF blog as well.

Moka is new to the San Francisco Bay Area, previously living in Seoul,  
South Korea where she worked for the Seoul Broadcasting Service as a  
Program Manager while completing her MA at Yonsei University.  Prior  
to her move to Seoul, she lived in Seattle and Austin, Texas while  
working with Porter Novelli, a multinational public relations agency  
based in New York.  Moka is originally from the DC/Metro area where  
she graduated from the University of Maryland, and began her career in  
communications working at a local NGO, the Black Leadership Council  
for Excellence, and as an intern on Capitol Hill with Senator Barbra  
Mikulski.

Join me in welcoming Moka!

Thanks,


Jay Walsh
Head of Communications
