I am pleased to announce that Danny Wool has accepted my offer of a job at the Wikimedia Foundation to be the Executive Assistant for the foundation. This job will primarily entail removing work from me so that I can better focus on the parts of my job that I am best at.
Danny has extensive experience in the nonprofit sector and has been our (volunteer) grant co-ordinator for some time. I have worked with Danny on many projects and we are an excellent working team with a fine personal relationship.
It is envisioned that Danny's staff role as my assistant will be temporary as he comes in and sets up professional systems for our work and begins to look for a replacement Executive Assistant (sometime within a year, depending on the flow of events) so that he can focus more and more over time in writing grant proposals.

Thank heavens. Hiring somebody to fill this role, IMO, has occurred at least 4 months later than it should have been. It will be very nice to have somebody consistently in the office during normal business hours.
Much good will come of this. I'm sure of it.
Congratulations Danny!
