To build on the success Population Action International (PAI) has experienced in reaching out to national elected officials and to international policymakers and advocates, its Public Policy/Strategic Initiatives department has been split into two distinctive divisions. Tod Preston has been promoted to Vice President for U.S. Government Relations and Suzanne Ehlers has been promoted to Vice President for International Advocacy. The creation of two distinct departments will help achieve a more intense focus and more robust knowledge base in both the domestic and global arenas, at a time of increasing interdependency and collaboration.
