Errrrrr... OBVIOUSLY this was not supposed to be posted here on the PD list. SInce I responded diirectly via email to the original message, sent me by an MSN employee, I'd say there was something SERIOUSLY wrong with The Microsoft Network's email program!!! Sorry to inconvenience anyone on the List.

Thanks for letting me... us... know about Kym's promotion. In the almost-a- year I've seen known her online here on MSN, she certainly seems to have had it "all together!" Expecially considering her online venue! WHEW! Workin' with tons of teenagers all the time! <smile> (been there, done that, and it's TOUGH!) <g> I wish Kym every success, and if there's anything I may help her with during this transition time, well, it'd be my pleasure to do so (and I MEAN that, Kym!)

We are extremely pleased to welcome Kym Lukowsky as the new Community Programming Producer to the Special Projects Team. Kym comes from a very strong online background (over seven years), having created her own business running multiple services on multiple platforms. She has a strong business and managerial background, most recently having run the Teen Forum on MSN, one of the areas with the highest traffic on the service, with a 24hr staff of over one hundred staff and volunteers. She ran this operation with personality and flair, handling all sorts of emergencies and crises with calm, cool and organizational skill. She is a consummate student of the medium and has a great sense of humor. She understands MSN, where it is coming from, and where it is going as well as anyone with whom I have spoken. (Okay, okay, I guess Bob Bejan DOES have the best idea of where we're going!) Kym has a team of three assistants who will be helping her with forum-related content issues, ICP and CFM relationships, and the creation of an intelligent and workable transition plan for forums and content partners to take us into MSN 2.0. Kym will be circulating among show and service producers to assess their online needs vis-a-vis community, chat, forum management, BBSs, and how best to integrate these into the overall programming offering. Kym will be resigning her position as Teen Forum Manager, and Gail Nicola will be taking over in that role.
