Message from Dan Evans,
former Governor of Washington State,
upon the Creation of the Marc Lindenberg Center for Humanitarian Action, International Development and Global Citizenship.

May 3, 2002

Dear Marc,

Only a long-scheduled trip to Walla Walla could keep us from this luncheon. Nancy has her responsibilities at Whitman College and I will be accompanying her.

I was thrilled and honored to have the Graduate School of Public Affairs named after me. The greatest joy, however, has been the opportunity to work with students and faculty under your inspired leadership. The school is rapidly increasing in stature in the nation and is serving an ever broadening clientele. Nancy and I are especially gratified by the fine endowment created in her honor for studies in nonprofit organization management.

You have provided charismatic and innovative leadership to us all and we are grateful for your fine efforts. I can think of no better tribute to a fine leader than the naming of the Marc Lindenberg Center for Humanitarian Action, International Development and Global Citizenship. It will be a lasting tribute to the guidance you have given and the example you have set for so many who will be dedicated to public service.

Thanks for who you are and what you do.

Sincerely,

Dan Evans
