since 1989. During her time there, the Council has grown tremendously and now

issues.
In addition to moving to a new role--as a visiting fellow at the Woodrow Wilson

an award from a agroup affiliated with the Women Donors Network. The awaard is
to enable a woman leader a period time off for reflection and renewal (similar
to the MacArthur). Our thanks and Best wishes to Mary Ellen Capek in her new
adventure.
