Karen Sandler joins Conservancy's Management Team
Sandler becomes Conservancy's Executive Director; Kuhn transitions focus to new “Distinguished Technologist” role
March 31, 2014
Monday, March 31, 2014 — Software Freedom Conservancy, a 501(c)(3)
non-profit charity based in New York, announced today the
addition of a talented new member of its management team. Karen M. Sandler, formerly Executive
Director of the GNOME Foundation, begins
today as Conservancy's new Executive Director.
Bradley M. Kuhn, outgoing Executive Director, gratefully passes the torch
to his long-time colleague Karen Sandler. While Kuhn's work as
Conservancy's President and on its Board of Directors remain unchanged,
Kuhn's new full-time staff role is titled “Distinguished
Technologist”. Regarding this change, Kuhn said: “This new
role allows me to continue to help shape, in coordination with the Board,
the overall vision for the organization. My daily role will now focus on
important long-term projects, such as leading
our new initiative to build
non-profit accounting software and
our license
enforcement efforts. I also look forward to recruiting more
new
member projects”.
Sandler expressed excitement in the opportunity to focus full-time on
Conservancy's day-to-day management. Sandler noted: “I've been
delighted to work as a volunteer for Conservancy in many ways, including as
one of its pro-bono attorneys since its inception. Now, I can focus in a
management role on the great work Conservancy does for
its various member
projects. Conservancy has also graciously encouraged me to continue
some work at the GNOME Foundation in a
volunteer capacity, including partnering in running
the Outreach Program for Women. While
I am sad to step aside from my daily role in GNOME, I am equally happy to
join the team at Conservancy, which engages in some of the most important
non-profit work in free and open source software”.
Sandler becomes the third full-time, and fourth overall, employee of
Conservancy. While the entire staff remains based in New York
City, Conservancy recently switched to full telecommuting for all employees
— to both stretch donor dollars further and give employees excellent
schedule flexibility for a good work/life balance.
