Thanks so much for your review. It's always very helpful to hear from former leaders about their experience at the foundation. I hope you are engaged with the Alumni Network. Depending on when you left the foundation, you are likely aware of the work being done in each of the ares you mention above. If you have anything else you'd like to share, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. Pam.yanchik@gatesfoundation.org
