[Wikimedia-l] Alexandra Wang joins the WMF Grantmaking team
Hi, everyone. I'm thrilled to announce that as of last week, WMF's new Project and Event Grants (PEG) Program Officer is Alex Wang. She will be supporting the PEG program's scaling up, and will enable us to offer our grantees a much higher level of support in project management and frequent check-ins during grant execution. She brings great expertise in project management, event planning, and grantmaking in the non-profit sector, including much experience in the developing world. Before joining Wikimedia, she worked with the ClimateWorks Foundation and the Energy Foundation, in sustainable energy projects in India, Europe, and China. (She's fluent in Mandarin.) When she wasn't setting up non-profits from scratch in India, she could be found practicing and teaching yoga, installing solar panels in rural maternity clinics in Nepal, and taking photos in precarious situations (mostly while mountaineering and backcountry skiing)[1]. In 2003-2004, she could also be spotted riding a pony around Ulaanbaatar in her quest to study the development of the Morin Khuur (upright two-stringed violin[2]) along the Silk Road[3]. We are very excited to have her join the WMF Grantmaking team, and look forward to improving our ability to serve the needs of applicants and grantees alike.
