Can we get a link to her writings/profiles or a list of achievements? I have literally zero idea who she is, google returns zilch and the post seems to be made under the assumption that her identity is common knowledge. Not being rude or anything, it is just that a few jokes and short descriptions written under the influence of the halo effect can't give me a very good image of who someone is.

Oh, sorry. She's just a person who has been doing a huge amount of volunteering with CFAR, runs some social-skills-related units for us (with a rationality foundation), has good social skills and connect-people skills, and has a keen interest in rationality and in creating community.

I'd say to meet her if you're interested in meeting "a CFAR representative, who's been talking to some other LW groups and who may be able to bring good ideas between your and other meet-up groups, or to show you some exercises and talk". Though I realize this isn't very detailed.

Thanks, seems like she might be present at our meetup this week so I will try to make it and see what all the fuss is about.
