I'll repeat what I said earlier on the IEGCom email list: I appreciate Jessie's positive approach to program evaluation. Also, the detail and scope of evaluation reports has ramped up significantly over the past year, which has been great to see. Thanks for all your work, Jessie.

Dear friends and colleagues,
Many of who have already heard from Jessie in multiple ways, but for
those
who haven't: Jessie Wild, who currently heads the Learning and Evaluation team in the Grantmaking department at WMF, is leaving for a year's fellowship with Ideo.[1] Her last day at the Foundation is tomorrow.
We are going to miss her. Jessie has been an extraordinary and integral part of WMF for the last four years, and demonstrated her initiative, insight and leadership in each of the positions she’s ably held here. For many of you, you may remember Jessie's first role was part of the consultant team working on the 5 year strategy. Most recently and importantly, she’s led the Learning and Evaluation team in the past year
to
do some significant baseline research and impact analyses of our grants
and
programs across the movement. This is work that lays the foundation for a great deal of our strategic vision and direction going forward. Thank you so much, Jessie, for all your strategic leadership, but even more: thank you for who you are, and the heart you’ve always brought to your team,
WMF
and the communities we support.
We are hoping that Jessie will rejoin us when she’s completed this brilliant opportunity at IDEO (she’s one of four chosen from over 450 applicants!). However, the work we are doing with all of you on impact
and
strategic outcomes for the movement is urgent and will need to be ramped
up
even further over this year. We will be opening up this position to lead the L&E team soon, and keep you posted on it.
Jessie, thank you again for all your manifold contributions.
Warmly,
Anasuya
