Welcome and good afternoon! We’re very excited that you’ve joined us. I’m Suzanne Rainey, a Director of Business Development with Forum One. I feel honored to be in this room with you all, because so many of you have dedicated your careers to helping solve some of the most pressing health challenges of our time. Thank you for joining us, and I also look forward to hearing from our panelists today about some really innovative & creative approaches to global health today. Before we get started, I need to review a few logistical points for our morning together: If you haven’t already, please silence your cell phones. We will take a short break at 9:45 for coffee and networking and we’ll wrap up at 11:00 sharp. Bathrooms are outside & around the corner to the right. Some of us are going to lunch together after the event. Please join us! We’ll meet at the base of the stairs immediately following the event, and then go down to the food court together. There are a number of choices, and a big space for us to convene & talk more. Introductions: This is a gathering of some of the smartest people in Washington grappling with global health issues, and this event is as much about you as our panel. So we’d like to do a round of introductions. A list of attendees are in the packet, and if you’re looking to talk to someone during the break, this is your chance to put a face with the name. As we go around, please STAND, and share your Name Organization Role Thank you all – as usual, a great group. So – On to Global Health & the Internet
