background reveals a proactive role in identifying and reaching out to campus professors and students, while introducing the
Education Program. I have consistently worked with WMF staff members to coordinate and support ongoing efforts to improve communication and recruitment of schools, professors, Online Ambassadors, and Campus Ambassadors. To that end, I have worked with professors, students, and Campus Ambassadors in the U.S., India, and Canada. My professional background includes expertise in business and organizational development; and assisting in the startup, development, and programming of nonprofit advocacy organizations. I have extensive knowledge and a proven track record in strategic planning; competitive analysis; networking and volunteer recruitment; and writing and editing (business plans, grants, proposals, and financial campaigns). My background as a certified, ordained, and overworked corporate trainer includes specializing in statistical analysis; process planning and improvement; and executive, staff, team, and volunteer development.

On an unrelated note, I am active in other WM projects as well, being a bureaucrat in Sanskrit Knowledge (XXG), as well as an OTRS agent. Personally, I am a student myself, and I have managed various volunteer based projects, including the founding and management of a Non-Governmental social activist organization, various events at the University level, as well as a couple of engineering application based projects.

This would not only enable easy management of all the programs, but it would also help new programs which are in the pilot stage (the India program for example) learn from the guys who did it already. Since we have programs (in the US) where we have managed it for 2 semesters already, a steering committee with a broader look would help in the easy transfer of ideas.
