She will be succeeding Cindy Cohn who has spent her career fighting the good fight. I was listening to an interview with her by Cory Doctorow, she's had an impressive record with the EFF, and it sounds like she wants to get back to the courtroom and leave the administration to a new generation.

Thanks, Cindy!

Wow, I honestly wasn't expecting that!

I actually got to meet Cindy Cohn at an event she did recently, and she's definitely really knowledgeable and seems to be a damn good leader.

Sad to see she's stepping down, but I don't blame her for it. She's been at it for a long time!

Also, if anyone's considering it, yes, her new book is quite good, and you should most definitely get it!

+1 on the book. It's 3 stories of cases the EFF and Cindy have taken on. Links here and becoming a Gold Level member of EFF will also get you a copy (https://supporters.eff.org/donate/join-4--wsph).
