I am delighted at this appointment. Ms. Patricia Stonesifer has distinguished herself in a variety of fields. She brings a combination of skills to the Smithsonian Institute. In her capacity as Cochair and President of the Gates Foundation, she focused on improving global health throughout the world. She has also served on the Board of the Vaccine Fund, established in 1999, to address the dire need to combat preventible disease in the world's poorest countries. She brings considerable expertise in the private sector, which, combined with her philanthropic work, will make her a very welcome addition to this board.
