Today is my last day as the Senior Procurement Executive and Director of USAID's Office of Acquisition and Assistance (M/OAA). As many of you are aware, I will be moving to Colombia in the coming months to serve as USAID's Deputy Mission Director.
Starting Monday, Mark Walther, M/OAA's Deputy Director of Washington Operations, will be the acting Director
.
This past year has been an exciting time in M/OAA. With your support and partnership we have been able to make significant progress on a number of fronts. Your ideas, always generously shared and appreciated, have improved the way we operate and how we work together to achieve our common development goals. I am proud of our strengthened relationship and what we have been able to do.
In the attached document, I have highlighted a few of the great accomplishments that working together has helped us achieve.
Over the last four years, it has truly been an honor and a privilege to get to know you better, to listen, and to work with you. I leave Washington proud of the culture of cooperation and collaboration M/OAA and the partner community has developed. I predict, with hope, confidence and best wishes, that the Agency's relationship with you, our partners, will continue to grow during this leadership transition.
