CFO resigns

Wikimedia Foundation CFO resigns

In a mailing list post on Monday, Wikimedia Foundation CFO Daniel Mayer resigned.

In the post, Daniel Mayer (often referred to as "mav") noted that he took the position with the understanding that when the job became too big for a volunteer to handle, he would be replaced. The Board recently told Mayer that they were seeking a replacement, and also announced the approval of the Fundraising Committee members; Mayer will be a member of the committee.

A post made late Monday by Foundation Interim Executive Director Brad Patrick announced that Tricia Hoffman would be hired on a part-time basis to handle bookkeeping, with the assistance of Board of Trustees member Michael Davis.
