Dear Board of Directors,

Great news: we have confirmed our Tribute Dinner honorees and co-chairs for December 8th! A special thank you to Chris Policinski, President and CEO of Land O'Lakes, and Richard Stearns, President of World Vision, for Co-Chairing this year's dinner.

As for our honorees, we are thrilled:
?  From Congress, we will be honoring one of the most beloved members from both sides of the aisles - Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Hal Rogers (R-KY). He has played an extraordinary role in protecting international affairs programs during his chairmanship - and is slated to be the lead Republican of the all-powerful Defense Appropriations Subcommittee once he steps down as overall chair.

?  From the Administration, we will salute the longest-serving Cabinet member, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, who has played a leadership role in global food security and helped pioneer the Feed the Future initiative. And, as you probably know, he happens to be one of Secretary Clinton's closest confidants.

I believe this will be a critical moment - particularly after the election - for our community and friends in Washington to stand together in support of our cause and America's global leadership.

You won't want to miss what will be a very special evening of celebration - along with a few other surprises. Please be in touch with Melissa Lieberman at [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]> on your participation.
Have a great weekend,
Liz
