Grants
To: Staff All <wmfall(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi all,
I'm excited to announce that we've got a new Program Officer for
Individual

transitions
to this
role!
Marti joined WMF as Project Coordinator in the Grantmaking and Programs
(later turned Community Engagement) department in September 2014. She
quickly demonstrated that she’s a strategic thinker who brings deep

generosity needed to support

put
her
talents to work, particularly for supporting our Individual
Engagement
Grantees and taking IEG to the next level over
the coming year. Among

Many

Lynette for bringing Marti to WMF and supporting her move to

building meaningful collaboration--and among other tools, she relied

Congratulations and welcome to Community Resources, Marti!
Warm regards,
