Garfield,
I have deeply appreciated your guidance, humility, and humor whenever I
have come to you for advice. You respect for our communities and desire to
support them no matter how crazy the situation has been inspiring. You
could easily create and enforce rigid processes and rules, but instead
consider each situation uniquely and think creatively to support our
affiliates and individual volunteers. I really appreciate that level of
commitment. You will be missed.

All,
For the last four years, I’ve led the Wikimedia Foundation’s finance,
administration, and office IT teams.
Four years but I feel like you've been a part of the movement forever!
Thank you for everything. Your contributions include managing our
largest financial decisions and projects, but also have included many
quiet acts of support behind the scenes, from helping run Wikimania to
talking with contributors who wanted to know how to run their local
group better. You've always been present in moments of crisis and
emergency, and also in our most joyous moments out on the dance floor
:) You'll be missed.
All the best with everything,
Phoebe
