Hi,
Thanks for the good news, Katherine!
Welcome Kui!
Congratulations Heather!
What it comes to “how to engage such a large a diverse movement”, I think the WMF
communication people are already doing good job in here. The solid vision and the clear
mission of the movement are the bases on what it is good to build on. They also show that,
although we are a large and diverse movement in various way, there are things we share and
agree on, too.

I'm glad to hear that as Chief Creative Officer, Heather will "oversee the
organization and movement’s voice, tone, and visual assets, and how they
are incorporated into everything from our recent awareness videos to our
press statements." It would be good to know exactly who "we" are in
this.
It seems that "we" include the "movement", which is to say, all of us
as
users, volunteers and donors. I look forward to hearing more about how
Heather and her team will engage such a large and diverse movement to find
out what it is that we want to say and find ways of helping us to say it.
