Heather Gosse, our new bilingual Operations Manager, began October 3, 2018! She brings a wide variety of experiences from the business, educational, and Quaker worlds. Heather is a member of Monteverde Friends Meeting in Costa Rica, where she lived for almost ten years and where she was highly involved in the life of the Meeting. She is particularly interested in the different ways people express their experience of Quakerism, and worked within Monteverde Meeting to help people connect with and use their own authentic religious language.
Previously, she was a member and clerk of the Finance Committee for Goshen Monthly Meeting in Pennsylvania. She has a degree in economics from Oberlin College and has taught middle school science at Friends Select School, Monteverde Friends School and Wilmington Friends School. She was previously a small business manager and an economics research analyst.
She will take over scheduling our Zoom calls and Doodle Polls. In addition to the regular donation processing, financial management and newsletter, she will be managing the Representative Engagement survey and preparations for the Nominating and Representative Engagement committee meetings next month. Please join us in welcoming her to the FWCC office.
Heather has been back in the Philadelphia area of the U.S. for a few years now, readjusting to tall buildings, lockdown drills instead of earthquake drills, and the Northern seasons. She enjoys folk dancing, making music, and spending time outside.
