What a great plenary session today!!

It was a terrific opportunity for each of you to feel the importance of the "Safe Kids Worldwide: Clarity, Capacity, Credibility" momentum toward a shared direction for children. The many questions you posed are an indication of your interest in the life and evolution of our wonderful organization. Hopefully, each of you will take ownership for crafting a useful strategic plan. Creation of Safe Kids USA as a distinct entiry is an imperative component that we must accomplish to improve our effectiveness to reach children. Please remember the three key commitments each of us must remember:

Recommit to publich health
Build our Network capacity
Globalize our leadership

Finally, Clarifying the SKW leadership role in the global health and safety field will save the lives of children.
Building SKW organizational and network capacity will save the lives of children.
Broadening SKW governance and leadership to include the voices of our global network and others in the field will help us be more credible and save more lives of chlldren.

When you return home, and you have a chance to do something to align with the new directions-try it- let us know how it works.

We are counting on you to help adjust Safe Kids Worldwide direction to reach more children and save lives. It is our responsibility to aid those children and communities in need.

Ours is a noble cause!

Warmest personal regards,
Dr. Ike
