Farewell from Amit Roy A Farewell | Page 8

THANK YOU IFDC is a proactive institution. We address emerging global issues. With the world’s population increasing rapidly and an everchanging climate, our work is needed now more than ever before. I am confident the organization’s future efforts will address global challenges head-on in a unique and effective way. IFDC employees, active in more than 25 nations, are helping farming families realize food security. Now numbering 800, we share the latest scientific and technological tools with farmers around the globe. Thank you all, past and present, for your dedication and creativity in carrying out our mission of a foodsecure world. Thank you to our Board of Directors for your counsel and guidance whenever I needed it. And last but no the least, thank you to our donors and partners for sustaining our efforts. I am grateful to my family who, in spite of my long absences from home for important occasions, have continued to support me. In addition, the support of friends, staff and the Shoals community made my work and IFDC’s work possible. All of us have traveled this journey together to get IFDC where it is today. Our successes have been rooted in our commitments to ethics and integrity. I am confident that you will take IFDC to new heights of achievement under new leadership. I wish you all the best, and bid you farewell.
