Welcome, Amanda! Glad you are joining us.

Not a playground, but related to kids and play: One of my dear friends,
Kathy Wilder, is the ED at Camp Stevens
, which serves the San Diego
area.  She is possibly the kindest human I have ever met, and strongly
oriented toward creating a social-equity-oriented camp environment for
kids.  Maybe a resource worth checking into!

[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Welcoming Amanda Keton to the Wikimedia Foundation

2019-10-03 Thread Katherine Maher
Hi all,

I know I’ve sent several announcements to this list in recent months
regarding new members of the Wikimedia Foundation’s executive team. Today,
I’m excited to send the last in this series, and officially welcome Amanda
Keton as General Counsel to the Wikimedia Foundation. Amanda will be
starting on October 7, based in San Diego.

Amanda has dedicated her career to many of the same values we share as a
movement. She joins us from the San Francisco-based Tides Foundation, where
she served as General Counsel. Tides is a U.S.-based public foundation that
distributes donor-advised grants and investments with the mission of
building a world of shared prosperity and social justice. Tides was a
partner for us in 2016 as we established our endowment, which remains
hosted at Tides. Amanda also served as Head of Tides Foundation and People
Operations and the CEO of Tides Advocacy,  the policy affiliate in the
Tides family of organizations.

Before her work at Tides, Amanda worked for Ernst & Young providing
nonprofit organizations with consulting, advisory, and compliance
services.  She currently serves on the Network for Good board and has
previously served on a number of other boards dedicated to equity and
justice.

In Amanda's words, "My work in nonprofits and the values I developed as a
social justice advocate make me especially excited to contribute to
Wikimedia in its next phase of growth. I want to be part of ensuring that
everyone finds a sense of belonging in the free knowledge movement, and
together we serve and defend it exceptionally well. After living in the Bay
Area for 11 years, my family and I recently moved to San Diego to be closer
to family, as we welcomed our son in August. I am always on a quest to find
the perfect playground, a new author to binge read, or a fresh recipe to
try."

Wikimedia always has been unique in the centrality of legal work as a
strategic aspect of our movement. From the first days of the Foundation,
our legal team has helped defend the Wikimedia communities and the
integrity of free knowledge. They work closely with the community to
advocate on behalf of open licensing, freedom of expression, net
neutrality, privacy, and other critical enabling elements of our mission.

I expect the importance of our legal and policy work to continue as we work
toward 2030. Today we see expanding government censorship and increased
infringements on access to knowledge around the globe. We see threats to
community members on the ground, and threats to the integrity of
information online. Our ability to engage proactively on these issues,
through strategic counsel, policy and advocacy, and impactful litigation
will continue to grow in importance to the Wikimedia mission. I’m excited
for Amanda to lead the Foundation’s accomplished Legal department as we go
forward.

I also want to take a moment to personally thank and acknowledge Tony Sebro
for his excellent work serving as interim General Counsel and Secretary to
the Board of Trustees while we searched to fill the position permanently.
Tony was a deft and thoughtful partner in addressing issues ranging from
copyright policy to malicious DDOS attacks to board governance, and a
valued voice on the Foundation’s leadership team. Amanda will continue to
work closely with Tony as he resumes the position of Deputy General
Counsel.

Please join me in welcoming Amanda to the Foundation!

Katherine
