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.

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
