Our Governing Boards could not be in better hands. We have had a 25% growth in new members including younger Alumni who will one day take over the duties from the stalwarts who have guided this organization wisely and well for so long. In programs, there were a number of benchmarks to include a successful second season for The Acadian Internship in Regional Conservation and Stewardship (where participants study large landscape conservation across Downeast Maine and New Brunswick). Brent Mitchell, Vice President for International Stewardship, represented QLF at the quadrennial World Conservation Congress in Korea in September, the “world’s largest conservation event.” As President of the George Wright Society, he is currently working with top National Park Service and Parks Canada scientists planning a conference on protected areas in March 2013. We hosted our first eco-tour (to Belize) to connect QLF constituents with places where we have active region-to-region exchanges. During the Belize trip, dozens of Belizean NGO partners (and now QLF Alumni) attended a dinner for tour participants to explain how our conservation exchanges have helped them. Another tour last summer took a QLF group to Newfoundland’s French Shore to see the many and varied culture and heritage projects QLF is conducting under the management of Dr. Candace Cochrane. Last February, QLF’s Executive Vice President, Beth Alling, organized a Middle East Alumni Regional Meeting in Oman at the invitation of the Omani Government. There, QLF’s Middle East Alumni and North American participants forged a new compact to collaborate in the future. In September, QLF received the largest single bequest in our history. Gifts like this are an expression of the personal relation- ships that QLF is known for. As President of QLF, it is my honor to carry on the wishes of these wonderful donors through new and exciting programs to meet our 21st century Mission. Examples will include: a build-out of the Leadership (Intern and Volunteer) Program; a follow-up to the QLF Congress (2006) to implement the Global Leadership Network; more QLF tours to introduce Alumni and Board Directors to what we do as well as where and with whom we do it; new international exchanges and stewardship opportunities, including the Middle East; and new collaborations in our home region with organizations as diverse as the International Grenfell Association, the U.S. National Park Service, and Environment Canada. To conclude, as we enter the new year, QLF is well positioned — a veteran staff, exciting new programs, and an engaged cohort of Directors in the U.S. and Canada. Thank you all for your trust, your confidence in us, and for your financial support.

Powell on Private Sector Summit on Public Diplomacy Secretary Condoleezza Rice Benjamin Franklin Room Washington, DC January 10, 2007 View Video ASSISTANT SECRETARY POWELL: Hello, everybody. Welcome to the State Department. Welcome to the beautiful Benjamin Franklin Room. We are so delighted to be the co-host of the Private Sector Summit on Public Diplomacy with our great partners, the Public Relations Coalition, PR Coalition. We have had already a morning of tremendous panels, speakers and we have already, I think, planted several seeds that will bear fruit. Our desire, as we mentioned this morning, is to ensure that public diplomacy cannot be seen as the work of government alone. And with the help of all of our partners in this room, I truly believe we're going to leave a lasting legacy of these kinds of partnerships because we have such a common goal in promoting mutual understanding of Americans and American values with people all around the world. There are a few people that I would like to thank. It's very hard in a setting like this not to mention everybody that has been such a strong partner and such a strong supporter of our efforts, but there are a few people without whom we really would not be here today. The first is Karen Hughes, who when I come to her with ideas, I often preface them with just listen to the entire proposal first -- (laughter) -- before you make a judgment.

That is why she chose literacy as her cause while in the White House and led a movement to raise awareness about the importance of reading and to expand literacy programs across America. Dedicated to breaking the intergenerational cycle of low literacy in America, in 1989 Mrs. Bush founded the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, a charitable organization focused on programs that enable parents and their children to learn together. Two years later, she played an integral role in the passage of the National Literacy Act of 1991, our country’s first congressional bill enacted to coordinate and increase access to adult literacy programs. Because of her efforts, millions of adults have had a second chance to earn their high school diplomas and/or learn to read, write, and speak English. She truly earned the title “First Lady of Literacy.” Mrs. Bush’s work in promoting and advancing the literacy cause did not end when she left the White House. She did so for nearly 30 years, both nationally and in her hometown through the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation. She never stopped caring and giving. As a role model for leading a life of service to others and a champion of the literacy cause, Barbara Bush will forever be our inspiration for helping people reach their fullest potential in life through the power of literacy.
