Dear Board of Directors,

Some nice news before the holiday break fully ensues.

I just heard last night from our long-time friend Henrietta Fore, former USAID Administrator, that she has formally been appointed by the UN Secretary General to be next Executive Director of UNICEF. I am thrilled to see her take on this critical role, which she starts on January 1st. Here’s the UN press release<https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/sg/personnel-appointments/2017-12-22/ms-henrietta-h-fore-united-states-united-nations>.

With Governor Beasley at the World Food Program and Henrietta headed to UNICEF, we’ve got a formidable team to help make the case for resources during a time of unprecedented humanitarian crises. And while these two are officially nominated by the UN Secretary General, the fact that they’ve both been hand-picked by the Trump administration is good news.

Last but not least, our colleague Lindsay gave birth last week – waiting until after the Tribute Dinner! – to Timothy (Timmy) Myron Plack. All are doing great with an adorable picture attached.

Happy holidays and see you in the New Year,

Liz
