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
