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
https://wikimediafoundation.org/2019/01/31/wikimedia-foundation-announces-l…
saying "Except where otherwise noted, the content of this site is

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:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lisa_Lewin.jpg )
