Dear USGLC Board of Directors,

I am pleased to announce some wonderful news - Jason Gross, former Managing Director of the U.S. Global Leadership Campaign, is "coming home" to the USGLC as our new Executive Director starting January 11.

As some of you may recall, Jason was the first person I ever hired for the USGLC back in 2001. He had been working on the Hill for the House International Affairs Committee and previously for Rep. Sam Gejdenson. For over five years, Jason helped me create and build the organization from our earliest days and became the Managing Director of our growing effort. He left to become Chief of Staff for Rep. Joe Courtney (D- CT) in January 2007 where he has been for the past 9 years. He is highly respected for running one of the most successful offices on Capitol Hill.

I have tried to recruit him back to the USGLC for years but the timing was never right - until now.

Jason and I are both thrilled and I believe he has the exact right mix of skills and talent that we need. He will be a wonderful addition to our talented team and I know you will enjoy working with him. I look forward to you meeting him or reconnecting with him at our January retreat.

Here is a link to the press release<http://www.usglc.org/downloads/2015/12/Executive_Director_Jason_Gross.pdf> that will be sent out tomorrow morning. Thank you for your support during this transition. I am very excited to have a wonderful partner to help lead the organization.
