Читать книгу Impact the World - Carrie Rich - Страница 7

THIS BOOK WAS Dean's idea. He jokingly suggested that we write this book together and I seriously answered that any excuse to have routine exposure to Dean's perspective and humor was reason enough for me. Dean, most people describe the process of writing a book as a great challenge and at times painstaking; you made this project fun.

Thank you to the Eisenhower Foundation for gifting me the experience of a lifetime as an Eisenhower Fellow, and for introducing me to Dean and many other citizen statespeople.

To The Global Good Fund Fellows, you made me want to write this book because it is an honor to showcase your meaningful work. Your drive to impact the world inspires me.

To The Global Good Fund team, board, and community, thank you for your support. You consistently encourage me to share my story in the context of making the world a better place.

To John Wiley & Sons, publishers, thank you for giving us a chance.

To my family, biological and chosen, you know who you are. I love you.

To aspiring citizen statespeople, you know who you are. I believe in you.
