Subject: RE: Memo: WFP-WFP USA Partnership

Rick,
Thanks for this note.   I too appreciated the meeting.  I met on Friday with BCG.  Amir Abdullah will lead the BCG work to help develop the model relationship between the private committees and WFP.

I have asked Amir to lead on behalf of WFP while Nancy will participate I think its important that the leads provide a more detached perspective on our going forward opportunities.  As such while I hope that you will participate in the evaluation and recommendation process I am hopeful that Hunter as Board Chair will lead on behalf of WFP USA.  I will reach out to Hunter and Bonnie separately to discuss my thoughts.

Thanks so much for everything you do,
Ertharin
