Hunter:
Meeting with Debbie went well.  She is really smart and will no doubt add real value if she has time to give.
She is the kind of person who will want to dig in, read and understand prior to commiting.  I didnt go in strongly on Penny since we need to secure her interest first.
I did ask her to consider the Women's Council though (and asked gently about Penny in the follow up email below).  If you think I can be even stronger on asking about Penny, I will, just wanted your read on that first.  Let me know what you think.

Thanks again for the introduction. She's geat.
Anya

Subject: Great meeting. Thanks.

Debbie:

First, thank you for your time this morning, which I know is enormously valuable as you are work vigorously to build your new business, which I wish you tremendous success with.

Secondly, your depth of experience with developing world issues is so valuable to me and I hope to overtime, consider you among those who provide continued solid counsel to me as I pursue this good work.

Thirdly, I hope you will review the Women's Leadership Council on Global Hunger materials and consider joining.  Clearly, you would be an enormous add to the group.
Additionally, perhaps as you review the materials, you could consider whether this group would have appeal to Penny Pritzker, whom I understand you know well.  I hope to hear from you shortly on this very important point.

Fourth, I have answered some of your questions below and hope it leads to continued conversation!  Thanks again and let me know when we can connect next.
Best,
Anya
