---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Patricio Lorente &lt;patricio.lorente(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 10:50 AM Subject: [Wikimedia Announcements] Executive transition planning To: &quot;wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&quot; < wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt;gt;, wmfall(a)lists.wikimedia.org Dear friends, This week, the Board of Trustees accepted Lila’s resignation. Her last day will be March 31, 2016. I would like to thank Lila for her efforts over these past two years, and her passion for our shared mission. Together, we wish her the best in her future endeavors and accomplishments. The Board of Trustees is meeting regularly to determine next steps. Our top priority is to develop a clear transition plan that seeks to build confidence with community and staff, appoint interim leadership, and begin the search for a new Executive Director. We will continue working closely together over the coming days, and will share an update next week. This work will require extensive collaboration by the Board over the next few weeks. Although we know you’ll have questions, it is likely we’ll be very focused on planning the next steps. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
