ht, with our guest speaker Andrew Romanoff. He did a wonderful presentation about the work that his non-profit employer-IDE-does. In short, they are all about helping poor, rural farmers gain access to water and sanitation, thus creating more income, better health, and access to other opportunities, such as education. Check out their webpage: http://www.ideorg.org/OurStory/Mission.aspxHis bio from IDE's webpage (http://www.ideorg.org/OurStory/Mission.aspx):
"Andrew Romanoff joined IDE as a Senior Advisor in 2010. He won election to four terms in the Colorado House of Representatives, including two terms as Speaker of the House. Romanoff earned national acclaim as one of the most effective legislative leaders in America. His work was honored by more than 50 state and national organizations, including Governing Magazine, which named him in 2008 as a Public Official of the Year. Romanoff has taught in Colorado and in Central America, worked in Nigeria for the National Democratic Institute, and served as a Scholar in Residence at the University of Colorado's School of Public Affairs. Romanoff earned a Bachelor's degree with honors from Yale, a Master's in public policy from Harvard, and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Denver."
It is very inspiring to learn about new organizations that are trying to make this world a better place for others, and even more inspiring that individuals like Mr. Romanoff find working for those organizations a source of awe and joy.
