Dear John, 

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and time in Lake
Tahoe  -- Mary mentioned you were going there -hope the XC skiing was
great. 

Just before Christmas, Joshua Dubois the director of religious outreach,
asked me to send him my position interests. I wanted to make sure you
had my email to him as well.  As I understand it, the religious outreach
team has sent in a first round of names through personnel.  My email to
Joshua is copied below.  After talking with a few more people, I
emphasized my interest in the White House Council for Faith and
Neighborhood Partnerships itself.  I am also interested in one of the
Department's Faith based offices or policy positions --- particularly
HHS and Labor where I could help advance policy goals and engage the
faith community.    Elizabeth Bagley sent my resume over to  Tom
Daschle, and will follow up with him.     I'm going to be out of the
Alliance office next week but on my cell and this email. 

Thanks so much John,  

Alexia

Subject: Positions

Dear Joshua, 

Thanks for the great meeting today, our conversation last week, and for
your continued leadership on religious outreach.  

As we discussed,  I'm very eager to serve in the new Administration to
help realize President Elect Obama's goals, especially to engage faith
and community partners and to help achieve health care reform, poverty
reduction, and other key goals.  I have really enjoyed working with you,
and with Mark and the rest of your team --- you all are doing
groundbreaking work for the common good and in public life.  I would
very much like to work as part of your new team going forward and I have
attached my resume to this email.   

As I mentioned, I am most interested in serving within the White House
Council for Faith and Neighborhood Partnerships, or in a White House
position where I can contribute my skills and experience to accomplish
the Council's mission.   I would be interested in a deputy director
position within the Council, and believe that I could serve you and the
team very well in this position.  My management of the Alliance over the
last 4 years and over a decade at the Catholic Campaign for Human
Development and other faith-based organizations would be an asset to the
Council's work.   I would be thrilled to work under your direction, and
to put my management, coalition-building, and coordination skills at the
Administration's and the Council's service. 

My top interests are: 

*         A Deputy position within the White House Council for Faith
Based and Neighborhood Partnerships 

*         A liaison to the faith community within the White House Office
of Public Liaison 

*         An HHS or Labor Department position, either in the respective
Department's Faith and Neighborhood Partnership Office, or in policy or
legislative appointment that would enable me to work towards key policy
goals and to engage and support the faith community.  

Thanks again Joshua, and I look forward to talking with you soon and to
discussing how I would best work within the new Administration. Let me
know how I can be of service in the meantime. 

Best regards, 

Alexia
