“The plan is focused on defining internal values and positioning research and outreach for greater impact on the public good,” he said. “As president, I am committed to elevating the role of philanthropy within our enterprise. There are many exciting opportunities for donor engagement — all we need is the right leader in place to ensure the appropriate strategy is deployed.”
