The Community team is evolving

KatieBent · May 2021

Hi all,

As we head into the week, I wanted to share some exciting and bittersweet news about the Udemy Community team.

First, the tough part: after many years as our lead moderator, @Abbie
is moving on from Udemy to the next great phase of her career. We're grateful for all her care and service here in the Community, and wish her nothing but the best. Abbie's last day is tomorrow, May 18—please wish her well in the comments.

Then, the exciting news: we've got not one but two new Community leaders in the wings. Chrystie and Bella have been ramping up for the last few weeks, reading your comments and feedback, thinking up programs to ensure your voice is heard across Udemy and planning ways to keep the conversation and the connection going strong. We're looking forward to introducing them both later in the month.

In the meanwhile, you're in good hands with the rest of the moderation team. @ElianaC
and @Mafer R
are still here to ensure your questions get resolution, and I'll continue to bring your conversations and concerns to the broader Udemy team.

Thanks for building the instructor community with us, as always.

-Katie and the Udemy Instructor Team

@s soon as I saw @Abbie in a post or reply I felt I was reading a real, true, considered answer and not just click and paste. I may not have always agreed with the answer/post but in my mind it was the truth delivered in the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. Abbie could tell me that my house was on fire but I would in my heart know that everything was still going to be all right.

Thank you Abbie and the best of luck in your future endeavors. I will miss you here. Take care. And thank you.
