Dear Maggie,
Your talent, commitment, creativity, unflagging energy and love of all things Wikimedia, combined with your incredible sense of justice (and sense of humor!) made you one of my north starts while working at WMF. I have seldom had the chance to work with someone I so like and admire.
Get some rest now!
xx, Eileen

Hi everyone,
Just over a month ago, we let you know that we had the reached the
final
stages of our search for a new Chief of Community Engagement.[1]
Today, I
am thrilled to let you know that we have appointed Valerie D’Costa
to
the
role.
<snip>
I just wanted to follow up myself on Katherine’s note to voice my enthusiastic and excited congratulations to Valerie on joining us and
also
to congratulate *us* on being joined by Valerie. Being part of the
search
panel looking for our next Chief of Community Engagement was an
interesting
and illuminating experience; so many people with so many new...and different...approaches. I was absolutely electrified when I completed
my
first interview with Valerie, whose considerate and experienced
approach
to
community resonated with me immediately and deeply. I cannot wait for
the
opportunity to work with her in her new role. To those of you who
haven’t
yet: you’ll see what I mean when you meet her. :)
Best,
Maggie
