We'd be happy to meet you over at IFPRI. Mr. Leach will likely be joined by two or three WFP USA staffers, including myself. We look forward to meeting with you.

Dr. Gelli,

Mr. Leach has gotten back to me and it looks like the morning of Thursday, October 23rd would work out best. Would around 10am work for you? You are welcome to come to World Food Program USA's office, our address is 1725 I St NW, Suite 510, Washington, DC 20006. If there is another location that would be more convenient for you, we would be happy to meet you there as well. Thank you so much for agreeing to meet with us and we look forward to speaking with you in a few weeks.

Regards,
Katherine

Dear Katherine,

Thanks for the reminder. The meetings at the end of the month have been confirmed so the scheduling is a bit tricky- the week of the 20th is probably the best option for me, would the morning of Thursday 23rd or Friday 24th work?

Best regards,

Aulo

Hello Dr. Gelli,

I just wanted to follow up on when you may have some availability towards the end of this month to chat about home-grown school feeding and the link between agriculture and nutrition. Please let me know what would be convenient for you. We are happy to work around your schedule.

Thanks so much,
Katherine

Good morning Katherine,

Thanks for the message. Sure, I'd be delighted to meet Rick in person (we talked together many years ago when I was working in the WFP SF unit in Rome).  I am waiting to hear back from colleagues on some workshops at the end of the month, so let me get back to you by early next week with some possible dates?

With best regards,
Aulo

Good Afternoon Mr. Gelli,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Katherine Frank and I work with World Food Program USA<https://wfpusa.org/> (WFP USA). We are a fundraising and advocacy organization that supports the work of the United Nations World Food Programme. I would like to invite you for a meeting with WFP USA's CEO, Rick Leach, to discuss your work on home-grown school feeding and the link between agriculture and nutrition.

To give you some further background: Over the past few months we have been on the lookout for some good data that supports the link between sustainable school feeding programs and local and regional procurement/home-grown food. This information could help bolster our Congressional advocacy efforts as well as our fundraising goals as we aim to provide all of our supporters (on the Hill and around the country) with up-to-date, nuanced materials that show the impact of WFP and safety net initiatives like school feeding programs.

A few weeks ago Mr. Leach spoke with Arlene Mitchell from the Global Child Nutrition Foundation who suggested that we reach out to you based on your experience at IFPRI. Would you have time to meet with Mr. Leach and a few other WFP USA staff members toward the end of this month? Please let me know what would be convenient for you. We are happy to work around your schedule.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,
Katherine
