One idea — PMail

my last blast from my assignment as member of SDG panel:

SDG UNGA meeting will be kicked off by Pope Francis on Friday 9/25 and last through the weekend until 9/27. I think POTUS isn't up there till evening of 9/27 or 9/28. What about doing an op-Ed from POTUS timed for the weekend that lifts up SDG's and the idea that we can end extreme poverty by 2030, if countries pay attention to gender equity, governance, peace and security, etc. I could send an outline if there is any appetite.

Sorry hit the wrong email for Denis on the original. Adding right one here.

Hey there. Am at DCA headed to Columbus to check on the mom. Thanks for sending this. Mary Beth (who was part of my directorate and is now Senior Director as I live in limbo land) is ALL OVER the SDGs and UNGA so your email is perfect timing. Any chance you are around next weekend or following? Would love to drop by and say hi to you and Mary and bring you some excellent blue cheese....best, and miss you, G
