Dear Subscribers, In a couple of months, I will be finishing my ninth year with LINGUIST and stepping into my tenth year here: you know you have been around for a long while if you can remember working with team members who are just editor names on older LINGUIST issues to other people in the office. This also means that you have heard from me more often than most editors on crew! I have enjoyed writing to you about my yearly progress right from my master's degree completion (thanks to your donation) to my career as a project manager. I did begin work on LINGUIST as a programmer which was a challenging task given the intricacies in language data and the need to be a useful site to our users. But, over the years, LINGUIST has been involved in quite a few projects thus giving need for a project manager role in the organization which I have been trying my best to fill! I have been involved in various projects in different capacities which have helped me acquire multiple project management traits; the opportunity to grow and learn new things constantly is quite motivating and is an attractive aspect of LINGUIST for me. From the letters you have been receiving from our editors, you may be aware that we are a diverse work force with crew members from all over the world; we find this diversity is often comforting for all of us! Our fund drive letters have two themes: one, you get to know each one of us a little more each year; two, we bring our projects into focus, that is, what has your donation done for you in the last year? Please do spare a moment to peruse our team letters, and to visit our projects/site features we have added to make our website more useful to you. We could not have added these projects to our portfolio without our hardworking crew, but we would not have such a smart crew if it weren't for your donations! Did you know LINGUIST has employed over 100+ student editors and programmers since inception! Not only is this a matter of pride for us to have provided deserving and intelligent individuals with real-world work experience; but this is a matter of satisfaction for you, our donors; you have, with your kind donations, given graduate students the opportunity to finish their studies and to work on technologically advanced research work on a day-to-day basis. We rely on you for our existence, please donate: http://linguistlist.org/donation/ Thank you very much for your donation, your encouraging letters, and most of all your heart-felt praise for our efforts here.
