Friends:On Friday, MCC CEO Daniel Yohannes announced my appointment as the Corporation’s Vice President of Policy and International Relations. I am both honored and excited to assume that position on Monday and work with the CEO and the immensely capable staff of the MCC on an exciting set of issues aimed at enhancing the organization’s effectiveness. It is, of course, a bittersweet moment for me. I have also been hugely honored to be a part of CGD and given the space and support to think, write and build a program that I hope has helped people better navigate U.S. foreign aid issues and helped foreign aid agencies stay true to their missions.I want to especially thank you all for your thoughtful comments, both online and off-line. They have both informed my analysis and inspired me personally. It is much of what has made this job so much fun. The Rethinking U.S. Foreign Assistance Program and blog will continue, with posts and analysis from CGD senior staff. And before you know it, there will be a new Director you will know and love and soon be saying, “Sheila who?” Thanks again to all of you for your attention and support through the years. I trust our paths will cross again and that I will benefit, on "the other side," from your continued monitoring of the MCC!--Sheila
