Dear friends,
I wanted to share with you some changes in WMIL. This weekend, after more than 6 years of service, Michal Lester will conclude her position as WMIL's ED.
Michal, WMIL’s first ED, joined us more than 6 years ago, and was our second employee. Michal’s joining marked the transition of WMIL from an organization operated and managed by volunteers only to professional hired staff supporting and leading the activity with the volunteers.
Michal started to initiate and lead large-scale projects and raise the resources needed for the activity through collaborations, donations and fund grants. From a one-employee organization with a limited budget, she brought us to the current position as an established NGO, with varied activity, hired staff to support it, volunteers and a sufficient budget to support all of that.
Under her leadership, we initiated the education project in Hebrew, and later in Arabic. We guided tens of thousands of teachers on how to work with (and for) Wikipedia. We created training tools and tutorials, formed years-long collaborations with dozens of organizations, and hosted the international hackathon and later the GLAM conference. We represented WMIL and our movement values in Parliament discussions and in discussion with archives; and when they failed to cooperate we did not hesitate to “force” them to give back to the public the photos that belong to them by law. The list of projects and achievements is too long to summarize in one email.
We are proud to say that WMIL turned not only to a leading and recognized organization in Israel, but also to one of the important and active affiliates of the global movement.
Michal’s activity in WMIL was beyond that of an employee, but true recruitment and belief in Wikimedia’s activity and values. Her round-the-clock investment and great love to the movement, organization, its employees and volunteers, serves proof. Many volunteers benefited from Michal’s attention, advice and support at all times.
The Board, and I personally, would like to thank Michal for this significant contribution that brought us to our current dignified position, and we wish her the best of luck in the future. We will remember you as the first ED who saw the hardship and labor pains of WMIL, and as WMIL’s “mother” in its professional role. We extend to you our greatest thanks.
While Michal is leaving, I would like to congratulate Revital Poleg, replacing Michal in her position. Revital is a former diplomat. She was one of the founders of the Peres Peace Center, she served as Chief of Staff for the Knesset Speaker; VP Business Development of a lobbying company; External Relations and Resource Development Director for the Ruppin Academic Center; and in her last position – Chief Executive and Head of the Jewish Agency Mission to Brazil.
Revital brings extensive experience in large organizations, both local and international, and a vast network of contacts in the private and public sectors. She speaks Hebrew, English, Portuguese and Spanish.
We wish her good luck in her position, in filling Michal’s big shoes, and we are positive she continues to advance WMIL forward.

A great thank you to Michal and congratulations to Revital for the new position. Also a great thank you to WMIL for the work done in all these years.
Best, Camelia

Dear Michal,
You have been a true ambassador of the movement and thank you for all the years of service. It was pleasure meeting you at GLAMWIKI2018 in Tel Aviv last year.
I know you will be around the movement and until we meet again, all my best wishes for your upcoming endeavour.

Michal, thank you so much for your vision, your passion, for being at the heart and helm of Wikimedia Israel for so many years.
Working with you has been a constant source of bubbling ideas, righting wrongs and challenging the status quo. I have enjoyed this partnership where together, and yet from both our corners of the Wikimedia world, we have worked to make things better, to be more thoughtful, to think beyond the well known and put in it a lot of heart. I am glad, beyond the colleague, to have won a friend, because I believe that this will stay.
Revital, I am looking forward to working with you, you are indeed, filling big shoes, but also benefiting from the dedicated and skillful team Michal brought together. Welcome to Wikimedia!
Best,
Delphine

Many volunteers benefited from Michal’s attention, advice and support at all times.
The Board, and I personally, would like to thank Michal for this significant contribution that brought us to our current dignified position, and we wish her the best of luck in the future. We will remember you as the first ED who saw the hardship and labor pains of WMIL, and as WMIL’s “mother” in its professional role. We extend to you our greatest thanks.
While Michal is leaving, I would like to congratulate Revital Poleg, replacing Michal in her position. Revital is a former diplomat. She was one of the founders of the Peres Peace Center, she served as Chief of Staff for the Knesset Speaker; VP Business Development of a lobbying company; External Relations and Resource Development Director for the Ruppin Academic Center; and in her last position – Chief Executive and Head of the Jewish Agency Mission to Brazil.
Revital brings extensive experience in large organizations, both local and international, and a vast network of contacts in the private and public sectors. She speaks Hebrew, English, Portuguese and Spanish.
We wish her good luck in her position, in filling Michal’s big shoes, and we are positive she continues to advance WMIL forward.

Michal, thank you so much for your vision, your passion, for being at the heart and helm of Wikimedia Israel for so many years.
Working with you has been a constant source of bubbling ideas, righting wrongs and challenging the status quo. I have enjoyed this partnership where together, and yet from both our corners of the Wikimedia world, we have worked to make things better, to be more thoughtful, to think beyond the well known and put in it a lot of heart. I am glad, beyond the colleague, to have won a friend, because I believe that this will stay.
Revital, I am looking forward to working with you, you are indeed, filling big shoes, but also benefiting from the dedicated and skillful team Michal brought together. Welcome to Wikimedia!
Best,
Delphine

Dear friends,
I wanted to share with you some changes in WMIL. This weekend, after more than 6 years of service, Michal Lester will conclude her position as
WMIL's
ED.
Michal, WMIL’s first ED, joined us more than 6 years ago, and was our second employee. Michal’s joining marked the transition of WMIL from an organization operated and managed by volunteers only to professional
hired
staff supporting and leading the activity with the volunteers.
Michal started to initiate and lead large-scale projects and raise the resources needed for the activity through collaborations, donations and fund grants. From a one-employee organization with a limited budget, she brought us to the current position as an established NGO, with varied activity, hired staff to support it, volunteers and a sufficient budget
to
support all of that.
Under her leadership, we initiated the education project in Hebrew, and later in Arabic. We guided tens of thousands of teachers on how to work with (and for) Wikipedia. We created training tools and tutorials, formed years-long collaborations with dozens of organizations, and hosted the international hackathon and later the GLAM conference. We represented
WMIL
and our movement values in Parliament discussions and in discussion with archives; and when they failed to cooperate we did not hesitate to
“force”
them to give back to the public the photos that belong to them by law.
The
list of projects and achievements is too long to summarize in one email.
We are proud to say that WMIL turned not only to a leading and recognized organization in Israel, but also to one of the important and active affiliates of the global movement.
Michal’s activity in WMIL was beyond that of an employee, but true recruitment and belief in Wikimedia’s activity and values. Her round-the-clock investment and great love to the movement, organization, its employees and volunteers, serves proof. Many volunteers benefited

I want to take a moment to share how strong a colleague Michał has been over the past two years when I have worked with her from a distance, with only a couple in-person meetings.
Michal has a talent and focus that has inspired me with my own Wikimedia commitments, and I can only imagine how much she has helped mobilize efforts within Wikimedia Israel.
Having first heard her present at Wikimania in Montreal, before I knew and worked with her directly, I have remained humbled and impressed.
I wish her the best, and imagine she will continue to positively help the Movement as it continues to develop and expand.

Michal, I was very happy to get a little bit of your perspective in conversations re: fundraising over the last few months. Thank you for all you've done and I look forward to seeing what's next for you.
Congratulations, Revital.
Best wishes to all the awesome people at WMIL.

Best Regards
Revital
