Dear ClimateWorks board members,

Our board call on Monday will be a standout in that it will be John Podesta’s first board call – John, we all look forward to your first meeting with us!

The purpose of this email is to let you know that we are posting John’s biography to the board page of our website today.  As you know, before making the appointment public on our website we took the time to share the important news directly and 1:1 with key stakeholders, including partner foundations, select grantees, and other key partners.  This outreach has been completed.

As we discussed, in keeping with our normal practice we are not planning an external announcement other than the web posting.  Now that the appointment is publicly available, we might get some inquiries from media and other stakeholders.  We will keep you updated if this happens.  Should any of you receive questions or requests for comments in regards to John’s seat on the ClimateWorks board -- in particular from media — we encourage you to direct them to Jean-Louis Robadey (copied).

With thanks,
Charlotte
