KEY BLOCK----- Dear Mr. Podesta, I hope this finds you well. As a reminder, this is Mae's friend - we met in New York last fall when you were in town for CGI and you were kind enough to dispense career advice. It's certainly been an eventful summer around the world, but I hope you're managing to get some rest while the President is back and forth to the Vineyard. In fact, I had dinner with Mae just last weekend and she was catching me up on the family’s updates. I wanted to reach out to you to follow up on something you suggested when we met. Although I've switched career tracks from investment banking to strategic communications, and am loving my new job with the Brunswick Group in New York, one of my core interests has always been foreign policy. When we met, you suggested it was important for me to continue to engage in this pursuit, even as an extracurricular activity. As such, I thought a terrific way for me to contribute would be to get involved with Secretary Clinton's campaign, although I realize it's far from official that she's running. You mentioned that it was very important for me to be involved in a capacity of this sort, particular as I'm out of the DC day-to-day orbit given that I live in New York City. She's a candidate I believe in, representing a party whose values I enthusiastically subscribe to, and after following her time in public life it’s clear to me she has a strong and terrificly informed world view. In terms of qualifications, although my career has been in the private sector, I am a founding member of the Brookings Institution next generation board (the Robert S. Brookings Society) of which I am currently a member, and am also a member of Chatham House (the Royal Institute of International Affairs). I sit on the youth board of Global Kids, a non-profit organization in New York which teaches inner city youth in New York City about the world and cultivates a new pack of foreign policy leaders among youth in New York. I have, in the past, been appointed a “Next America Fellow” by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and did an internship at the Council on Foreign Relations while I was in college. I’d love to have the opportunity to contribute my spare time to Secretary Clinton’s campaign, whether it be in the form of helping to write position papers or helping with her foreign policy effort in any way. As you had suggested this sort of engagement as a useful endeavor when we met, I was hoping you would kindly be able to put me in touch with the appropriate people. I realize there may be no formal structure just yet, but I’ll await your guidance as to how best to proceed. Many thanks, as always for your advice and guidance - I greatly appreciate it, as always. Wishing you and the family a terrific Labor Day and start to the fall.
