Hello everyone,

Yesterday, Maggie Dennis announced that Katy Love (WMF Senior Program
Officer, Funds Dissemination Committee) has been promoted to the Director
of Community Resources. She is replacing Siko Bouterse whose last day was
yesterday.

>From my first hand experience working with Katy, I know her to supportive
of programs, projects, and people who are working to increase participation
of women in the wikimedia movement, including women on BoT of affiliate
organization and other leadership positions.

So, I encourage people on this mailing list to participate in the WMF
grants programs in order to develop methods to engage more women.
