Hunter and Rick  -

I had a short, but pleasant conversation with George Economy.  He does not
see that his membership on the Board "is perceived to be adding value."  He
recognizes that he will not be in a position to contribute funds in the
foreseeable future.  And, he also knows he provides no help on the policy
front.   Thus, he has decided not to stand for re-election when his term
ends this year.  He is, however, very glad to remain a "friend" of WFP USA
and is more than willing to help out with fundraising in the upper Northwest
as the opportunity may present itself.  

He will provide us with written feedback on the assessment form.  Once we
have received that input, it would be appropriate for one of you to send him
a note of thanks, and encourage him to attend the October meeting so that we
can recognize his Board service.  (Doubt he will actually attend, but the
note would be important to send.)

Let me know if you have questions...

Hi Bonnie,

Thanks for the email and review form. Would you have some time available
this week for a phone call to help me clarify my intentions for continued
service. As of now, I am inclined not to seek re-election unless I can
define a role that is meaningful to me and of value to WFP USA and fellow
board members. Since I don't possess connections to government or corporate
sponsors, I'm not certain whether my skills and contributions bring value to
the organization. 

thank-you for your involvement!

regards

George

George  -

Your current three-year term as a World Food Program USA director will
expire as of the end of 2012, and it is appropriate to take this time to
allow a self-assessment of  your performance on the Board and your
intentions for any continued service.  Enclosed is a review form, covering
the many factors of performance that contribute to a successful board.  As
you are aware, we have clarified some of our performance expectations for
Board members, and those are included in the form.

Please complete the survey at your earliest convenience and return it to me
at [email-masked].  We anticipate reporting to the Board at our Board
meeting in early October, and to achieve that I would appreciate receiving
your response no later than the end of August.  The survey is in a Word
document which should make it convenient for you to complete electronically
and return by reply e-mail.  If you have difficulty with that, please let me
know.

We would like to receive from you any suggestions you would like to make
regarding board governance, board activities, management performance or any
other item you would like to raise. If you wish to have a direct
conversation about any aspects of your feedback with me or any member of the
Governance Committee, please let me know.   I look forward to hearing your
views and input.
