Dear USGLC Board of Directors,

I wanted to let you know that USGLC Board Member Michael Deich of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has resigned due to his recent transition from the Foundation.  After serving as the head of the BMGF's Washington office for the past several years, Michael has returned to Government where he will serve as the Senior Advisor to OMB Director Shaun Donovan.

Michael has been a trusted advisor to Bill & Melinda Gates for years and a driving force behind the USGLC grants.  He has been a valued friend, supporter and strategist to us and his wisdom will be missed, though his support at OMB will be greatly welcomed.

Until his replacement is identified, I have recommended to the Center's Executive Committee that we include Katy Button from the BMGF to temporarily participate in the Center Board meetings.  Katy is very well versed in our program and has been an important interlocker in our grant implementation.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Liz
