I've been stewing for awhile to sort out my thoughts about the search for a new department lead for CE. Since I might be busy on Friday, and the choice of the new department is likely a topic of broad public interest, I'll share some thoughts here:
Hi Pine,
Thanks for your comments and for searching your thoughts. It would be great if we could also hear the stories about your work and how this position might influence your organization's or your personal daily work in the movement. We need to hear how the list you bring up is affecting your work in Cascadia.
A few other questions that might help (For everyone):
---- Where are your group(s) now in their work and what does it need from the WMF in a Community Engagement director?
---- What are your organizations/project's highest priorities right now and how does that relate to a new director for the department?
---- What values do you expect a Community Engagement Director to have as it relates to your _own_ work?
I am hoping these questions are helpful to everyone.
Also for everyone - reach out directly with other people, both within the organization and with others to listen to what they need as well, or perhaps invite them into the broader conversation. I need to do this as well.
Thanks, Edward
