Dear friend of CGD,
At CGD, we champion a more effective, just, and equitable global system: a globalization that works for everyone. We bring rigorous evidence and new ideas to the policy community, and we work with that community and others to have real impact. As the political landscape shifts, both in the US and abroad, our focus on how to make the interconnected and interdependent global system fairer and more prosperous for everyone remains the same.
As I prepare to hand on the presidency of CGD to Masood Ahmed, I ask you to help sustain our work, motivated by our mission of improving the lives of the world’s poor and marginalized. Please join the CGD Society today with a gift of $150 or more.
Our work is not possible without the dedication of our supporters or the new commitment of bright minds engaging with and supporting our mission. From those of you who critically engage us through participation in our events to the brilliant individuals who contribute their time and insights to our working groups, the Center depends on its informed, motivated network to make a real difference in the world.
By joining the 2017 CGD Society with a check, wire transfer, or secure credit card transaction online, you will add your voice to the growing chorus calling for smarter policy ideas to improve the livelihoods, health, and available opportunities of millions of people both in the world. Society members are among our most active participants and engaged supporters, enjoy preferred access to hundreds of CGD events in Washington and London, and receive complimentary copies of our publications.
As 2016 comes to a close, I wish you all the best. Thank you for sharing our vision and supporting the work that we do.
With sincere gratitude,
Nancy Birdsall
President
Center for Global Development
