Our Own Advocate
We were very proud today when our own advocate, Weber Shandwick’s Chairman Jack Leslie, was appointed by President Obama to be Chairman of the African Development Foundation’s (USADF) Board of Directors. For those of us who know Jack and see him at the office every day or visiting other offices around the world with his contagious smile and deep smarts, Jack’s knowledge, commitment, and passion for Africa and the underpriviledged cannot be missed.
As a true blue advocate for African development, Jack has been heavily involved in the work of USADF and been on several missions to the sub-Sahara. As Jack was quoted as saying, “I have long believed USADF has a unique role to play in Africa to see that the most under-served, most marginalized communities in Africa gain a greater voice in the development process. What I value most about USADF’s approach is that it not only provides aid where it is most needed, it also helps communities find creative solutions to address their social and economic problems. By doing so, it fosters sustainable development to generate jobs, higher incomes, and improved social conditions.”
We at Weber Shandwick take tremendous pride in Jack’s advocacy and sincerely congratulate him for setting such a fine example of citizenship. He is making a difference.
