EMAIL DETAILS

Dear Hunter,


So good to see you and meet Rob and others Friday – it turns out the links
between Rosemont Seneca and Truman are even deeper than we know… Rob
mentioned that you basically house Markham Group there – and they are the
ones we always hire to do our hardest field tasks!


Thank you for offering to connect me with potential funders in Florida – and
with some people in the development advocacy arena. To jog your
post-weekend memory, you had offered:


To connect me for potential meetings in Florida with:

Michael Adler and his son Matt

Pat Basket (? Basquet?) with Dewey Squared

Stephen Bittel

And if you feel close enough, Mark Gilbert (I may have forgotten to ask you
about Mark).


And for the development work we are doing, let’s start with introductions to
Josh Lozman at One and Rick Leach at World Food Program USA – and then see
where that goes before going any further.


I've attached two introductory emails at the bottom of this email to make
these introductions as easy as possible.


With many, many thanks

Rachel


FLORIDA

Dear ,


I wanted to introduce you to Rachel Kleinfeld, CEO of the Truman National
Security Project, to see if you might be able to take a meeting with her
when she is in Florida in two weeks.


I just joined the board of the Truman Project, and they are doing phenomenal
work recruiting, training, and positioning a new generation of progressive
leaders to own national security so that we don’t keep losing on this issue
– and have smart, strong policies to offer the American people. They work
in three areas: leadership development, communications/messaging, and
advocacy – and do everything from training 200 Congressional staff each year
on foreign policy – to running an advocacy campaign across 37 battleground
states on the need to break our oil addiction so we stop funding countries
inimical to our interests. Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of Defense
Bill Perry, and a host of great people serve on their Advisory Board.


Rachel’s been invited to Florida to present to the local Democracy Alliance
and see about impacting the state. She’ll be in touch – and if you have a
moment to meet with her, that would be terrific.

Dear ,


I wanted to introduce you to Rachel Kleinfeld, CEO of the Truman National
Security Project, to see if you might be able to talk with her about the
development advocacy they are doing and whether there might be ways to work
together.

Seeing development as a crucial pillar of national security is part of the
foundational values that animate Truman’s mission – and they have a few
hundred veterans and flag officers who would like to make the case to
Congress. They’ve been working some with MFAN and Oxfam, but would love to
talk with you to see if there are useful ways to work together – and to
learn more about how to best work with others in the field.


Rachel will be in touch – it would be terrific if you could take a minute to
talk.
