To:



Dear ICW Members and Partners,



I hope that this letter finds you well.



As many of you are aware the International Steering Committee of ICW Global
made a historic decision at the International Strategic Planning Meeting on
October 29, 2013 to move the International Support Office (ISO) from Buenos
Aires, Argentina to Nairobi, Kenya.



We are very happy to report that we have made significant progress towards
transition which will be fully completed in March. The ISC has hired a
transition manager and put in place a leadership transition team to oversee
the transition process. We are currently hiring an Interim Networks
Director and will shortly announce other key staff positions.  Additionally,
 we have chosen ICW East Africa to serve as our fiscal agent during the
transition period because of their excellence in financial management and
reporting.  Lastly, we are currently completing all the logistical
requirements for the new team on the ground in Nairobi.



The team in Buenos Aires is in the final stages of completing all
activities in the office, and therefore will be closed for any external
communications and/or projects as of today, Friday February 28th 2014.



To ensure ease of communication from this point forward please direct all

Committee to the following individuals:

great work that they have done over the past five years to keep ICW strong.
We would particularly like to thank Patricia Perez for her commitment to  ICW
 as well as Irene Romano who served as staff to the ISC for many years.



We are confident that this move will be beneficial to the entire network
and we are thrilled to be moving to Kenya to work with our sisters there.
