The reason why her photo had not yet been uploaded to Commoms is rather simple. The staff that were going to do it (thank you for doing it) are attending the organization’s All Hands event. Getting the information out was our focus, and we will be updating other places early next week. I hope folks can appreciate our desire to focus on the event and immediate dissemination of information. :)
For what it is worth, we do make an effort to ourselves take and make available a freely licensed photo of board members. However, photo shoots are not always the best use of our in-person time with board members. We are looking into ways to expedite the process and do them outside in-person gatherings.
I will pass the comment about page design to our design folks. Thank you for the feedback and I hope the above helps answer your questions. :)

Unfortunately we don't seem to have a free image of Lisa; the one used on the Wikimedia blog is the same as her long-standing Twitter profile image and, despite the footer on the WMF post about her appointment:, which uses the image, saying

saying "Except where otherwise noted, the content of this site is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license.", there is no explicit indication that it has (nor indeed has not) been released under an open licence.
I'm not sure I follow Andy - there is a Photo Credits section, did you see it?
Thank you. I didn't; I stand corrected, and apologise.
However, I think the reason that I didn't see it is that it is disconnected from the body of the page by two very long sections; one (more than a screen deep on my machine) being a pink-backgrounded solicitation for donations; the other an entreaty to join a mailing list. Neither relates to the subject of the article, and once I reached them I assumed the article had ended. The large version of the image, at the head of the page, neither mentions nor links to the credits section.
Perhaps the page design needs to be revisited, to make the credits section more apparent? Has any user testing of this aspect been undertaken?
Is there a reason this open-licensed image had not been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons? (I've now done so, as:
