BoE: Bottom of Email

Dear John,

I'm so grateful to work at the Bill of Rights Institute. It was my first real job out of college, and the leadership teams that have steered the organization over the nearly 10 years I've known it have given me the opportunity to continually find value in my work. I'm so happy to be part of what is truly an outstanding organization.

Over the next few months, you'll see other names and faces coming through in this BoE section of our newsletter - not because I'm going anywhere - but because I want to you to know the people behind all of the great resources and programming you enjoy week-in and week-out from BRI. It's a team effort and it's a wonderful team. I look forward to letting them introduce themselves to you!

All my best,

Laura Vlk
