Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcing Anna Torres Adell as new Wikimedia Argentina ED
Hi Anna I think you worked for the municipality of Tarragona. I wonder if you had any relationship with tarracowiki: www.tarracowiki.cat Sorry if I have confused you with another Anna Torres Adell. Anyway welcome to Anna and congratulations to Wikimedia Argentina. 2014-02-22 7:08 GMT+01:00 wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org: Send Wikimedia-l mailing list submissions to wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 18:49:37 -0300 From: Galileo Vidoni gali...@gmail.com To: Wikimedia Mailing List wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Announcing Anna Torres Adell as new Wikimedia Argentina ED Message-ID: cadibolicsjr1kh5m+eyks+tmacg+apjkiugvjsvphjkbs9q...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Dear movement fellows, I'm pleased to announce that Wikimedia Argentina has a new Executive Director. Please welcome Anna Torres Adell to our movement! Anna was born in Barcelona but settled in Buenos Aires a couple of years ago. She is a licentiate in Political Science for the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and has post-graduate studies in International Cooperation; Management and Control of Public Policies; and Local Development and the Social Economy. She developed an interest on international cooperation and social matters since her teens, helping establish an educational NGO in Guatemala when she was just over 20. She has since lived and worked in Spain, México, Guatemala and Argentina. Before joining us at Wikimedia Argentina, Anna was the ED of PROEM Foundation, an organization aimed at coaching small businesses. Anna's track record also includes working with AECID, the Spanish agency for international cooperation, and the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM). She has extensive knowledge and experience in the five dimensions that we cared the most when recruiting: commitment with the social goal of free knowledge, working with volunteers, administration, program management and funding. Selecting Anna was not easy, but not because we couldn't find the right person: We had just too much good EDs we wanted to hire! Thankfully we could choose from an important pool of candidates and proceed to evaluate thoroughly each one of them. We received over 100 applications, of which not less than half were pertinent. We gave all of them a score and made successive filtering stages before arriving to the eight people we interviewed in person over the last days. As you may have read on this list back in January, our decision to hire a new ED has to do with Osmar leaving us to return to his home country. Let me highlight that this good news could not have been possible without Osmar's work and commitment. Not only he helped designing the work description for his replacement, but he also participated in the recruiting and hiring process. We are extremely grateful to all what he has done to advance our mission in Wikimedia Argentina, and while we are certainly saddened to see him go we know that both he and us are doing everything possible to leave the organization on track and in good hands. Programmatic work will not suffer from this leadership change; if any, we as Board will ensure it gets reinforced. Anna will formally start working with us on March 1, and throughout all of that month Osmar will continue with us in Benedict fashion as ED emeritus to ensure that all the necessary knowledge, proceedings and contacts are transferred from one administration to another. We are glad to have achieved this level of stability as an organization, and we'd love to spread the word about this happy and smooth transition in the WikimediaConference with whoever wants to hear us :). We asked Osmar to be one of our representatives in Berlin as his last act of service, so it will also be a nice opportunity for you to meet him. In the meantime, please welcome Anna to the Wikimedia movement and to this mailing list! Best regards, *Galileo Vidoni* Presidente A. C.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcing Anna Torres Adell as new Wikimedia Argentina ED
Dear movement fellows, Thank you so much for your warm welcoming! As Galileo said and thanks to the support of the team and specially at this very first stage, from March 1st onwards I will asume the ED of Wikimedia Argentina Foundation. To be part of Wikimedia Argentina Foundation means to me an excellent professional challenge that I am prepare to assume and also the perfect place where to project - generating more and better results- all the years of trainning and work experience acquired during my career. During the last ten years I have worked in the field of human development and international cooperation from all its aspects- attempting different development sectors like social, economic, educational, sustainable and cultural development among others- and so I considere the development as the comprehensive management of all of these concepts which are nowadays the key in order to ensure fairer societies. With your support, our work together and a tool like Wikipedia, I'm sure that Wikimedia Argentina Foudations aswell as the rest of the chapters around the world, can set up a new framework to encorage the social, economic and cultural change we would like to see in the nearly future. In this connection, I hope not only, all of us, to create more inclusive projects, but these projects to be the result and the impact each one of us would like to build up! Thanks you so much for the opportunity!
