Dear Board of Directors,

Thank you to all who braved the blizzard last week and joined us for what was one of our most thoughtful Board retreats. Given the weather challenges, the commitment of our speakers to keep (or rearrange) their schedules is a tribute to you and the importance of our work.

I am very grateful for the high level of our conversation and the strategic advice you provided. A great start to what will clearly be a challenging year.

Many of you asked that I recirculate some of the material:

* Highlight video<http://www.usglc.org/2016/01/15/new-hampshire-forum-on-americas-global-leadership-whats-at-stake-in-2016/> from our New Hampshire Impact 2016 Forum
* Contact Information<https://www.dropbox.com/s/he8v0gdw80zg8hz/2016%20USGLC%20Board%20of%20Directors%20Contact%20List.pdf?dl=0> for USGLC Board Members
* PDFs<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vh1tzt72qj80jxk/AAA2CF7AF9OwjZmNwbdhkgh3a?dl=0> of Board Retreat Materials

Next up is the start of the FY17 Budget cycle with the release of the President's Request next Monday. Watch for our analysis, rollout events, and Capitol Hill Lobby Day to ensure a strong International Affairs Budget.

Lastly, here is the tribute blog I wrote honoring Bill Lane<https://medium.com/@LizSchrayer/bill-lane-the-leader-i-ll-follow-anywhere-c831c6269f5d#.30l213mzb>. Congratulations again to Bill on your exciting transition!
