Helen stepping back from Digital Collaborative Spaces, Coordinated Data Scramble, DHN and SimEx projects
Andrej Verity
Dear all,
Some of you have seen Helen's Skype message or been notified via a bi-lateral message on the topics mentioned in the subject. Helen, who has been a staunch supporter and advocate of above mentioned projects and the DHN membership in general, is stepping back from these roles. Helen has given a significant portion of her personal time to these projects over the past several years.
Personally, I would like to thank Helen for the sacrifices that she has made to keep these initiatives moving forward despite the many challenges and obstacles that have been encountered over the years. In the community she has been one of your largest advocates - often suggesting your support, connecting interested parties before, during & after emergencies, and constantly explaining how DHN members could help. Helen: thank you for everything. And, I do wish you the best of luck in your next ventures.
DHN Members: if you, your organization, or a member of your organization would be interested to become more involved in the DHN - through these project - do let myself and the coordinators (coordi...@digitalhumanitarians.com) know. Although challenging, the work can be rewarding and can introduce you to a wide range of individuals, organizations and situations. The main categories would be:
- Digital Collaborative Spaces
- Coordinated Data Scramble.
- DHN Activation / Coordination support
- Simulation participation (or facilitating DHN members engaging)
