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!
