Hi Nathan,
Succinctly, at a 30,000 foot level:
The Community Engagement team (staffed with Community Liaisons and the Director of Community Engagement, Product) leads the efforts to engage the community around the development and deployment of new tools and product/features for the projects.
The Community Advocacy team (staffed with Community Advocates and the Director, Community Advocacy) leads engagement with the community around strategic change management and major policy rollouts (Terms of Use, Privacy Policy) and serves as an entry point for things related to governance functions (Arbcoms, Checkusers and Oversighters, etc).
The descriptions of the work of each team can be found in more depth in the appendix to WMF's FDC submission. [1].
Best, pb

Welcome Rachel!
Erik (or someone else), is there a succinct description of the mission of the Community Engagement and Community Advocacy departments, and/or especially a summary of the difference between their roles? Your e-mail from December included some of this information, I'm just curious if it has been codified in a way that would allow an outsider to quickly grok the split.
Thanks! _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
