Dear USGLC Board of Directors,

I wanted to share that this afternoon the President announced Gayle Smith as his nominee for USAID Administrator.  As you know, Gayle is a long-time friend of the USGLC and was one of the key members of our original Smart Power Impact '08 Working Group.  She has met with our Board on numerous occasions and been a strong partner and friend.

I thought you would be interested in the following:
