[Chapter-delegates] NEWS: Internet Society Welcomes Ayesha Hassan as Senior Director for Stakeholder Engagement

[Walda Roseman]

Hi, Alejandro,

I’ll forward your note to Ayesha.  She begins May 19 and will need some time to get settled after that.  Ted Mooney and Joyce Dognier remain in the lead on Chapter communications and support.  However, Chapters are certainly key stakeholders and I’m sure that Ayesha will be turning to all of you for your wisdom and engagement.  Much of her focus will also  include the those around the world who are stakeholders in the future of the Internet and  might not be part of who we think of as the ISOC community.

Best,

Walda

Wende,

thanks for this news! Do you have an email address for Ayesha? In the meantime may I ask you to convey to her my welcome, and an invitation to engage soon with us Chapter delegates and all individual members? Is that within the job description of Stakeholder Engagement, or what would be the channel to connect the dots?

I hope Ayesha's expertise, combination of steely resolve and negotiation abilities, and massive networking may serve us all in ISOC well.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
