Another change is coming to the Department of Marketing...
Arie has served long & well as our Product Manager, running the CafePress store and also as the team lead/project manager for the Graphics Development Team. Because she has been doing all of these things, we've updated the position title to Project Manager (rather than Product Manager), which much more accurately describes the role.
So, as you probably already know, Arie recently became the Gray Head of Ajah. Site members can only hold one administrative position at a time, so she is stepping out of the Project Manager role. Thanks so much for all of your work, Arie! I'm glad to still have you in Marketing on the GDT. :kiss
Without further ado:
