Estimados compañeros y compañeras,
Después de seis maravillosos años como Director Ejecutivo, he tomado la difícil decisión de dejar a IDEX. Durante mi tiempo aquí, he tenido el privilegio de trabajar con un equipo muy entregado a su trabajo, con una mesa directiva bien dedicada a IDEX y con admirables contrapartes e organizaciones de base. Quiero agradecer a todos y todas que han apoyado con su tiempo y generosidad a IDEX durante mi estancia. Mi vida personal y profesional han sido enriquecido de manera permanente por estas relaciones.
Durante mi tiempo aquí he visto a IDEX prosperarse en una organización más grande y más efectiva. Nuestro modelo de envío de fondos participatorio esta siéndose más reconocido en la comunidad de desarrollo internacional. Y mientras nunca hay un buen momento para hacer una transición de este tamaño, mi tristeza es menos sabiendo que dejo la organización en manos de un equipo maravilloso que van asegurar que la eficiencia de nuestros programas y la estabilidad financiera continúe en los próximos años.
En las próximas semanas, los miembros de la mesa directiva van a llevar a cabo un proceso de reclutamiento abierto para la posición de Director Ejecutivo. Pueden revisar el anuncio y la descripción de esta posición en nuestra página Web.
Gracias a todos por hacer estos seis años tan agradables y tan enriquecidos. Estoy seguro que voy a cruzar caminos con muchos de ustedes, y espero continuar las relaciones que he desarrollado estando en IDEX. Les animo a continuar su participación y apoyo al trabajo de IDEX.
Saludos solidarios,
Pete Stanga
Dear Friends,
After six wonderful years as Executive Director, I have taken the difficult decision to leave IDEX. During my time here I’ve had the privilege to work with an extremely committed staff, a dedicated Board, and a truly inspiring set of partners and grantees. I would like to thank all who have supported IDEX during my tenure with your time and generosity. My personal and professional life has been permanently enriched by these relationships.
In my time here I have seen IDEX flourish into a larger and more effective organization. Our model of participatory grantmaking is gaining traction throughout the international development community. And, while it is never an ideal time to make such a transition, my sadness is lessened by the fact that I leave the organization in the hands of some amazing staff who will ensure that our programmatic efficacy and our financial stability will continue for years to come.
Over the next few weeks, IDEX’s Board of Directors will carry out an open hire for the Executive Director position. You can review the job announcement and description on our website.
Thank you all for making these six years so enjoyable and enriching. I’m sure I will cross paths with many of you again, and I look forward to continuing the relationships I have developed while at IDEX. I encourage you to continue your involvement and support of IDEX’s work.
All the best,
Pete Stanga
“Global microfinance leaders met Wednesday in San Francisco to discuss a cutting-edge strategy to get the world’s poorest borrowers to repay their loans: Keep them healthy.” Read the full article.
IDEX can’t agree more. It’s refreshing to see the experts catching on to what we’ve known for years: microfinance is not a cure-all for poverty. The best anti-poverty organizations apply microfinance as just one tool in a multilayered approach. The real key is in funding organizations that empower the poorest people with leadership skills so they can access not just capital but also information, health care, education, land rights and food security. IDEX’s role as a philanthropic organization is to find such organizations and help them grow.
If you would like to learn more about our approach to microfinance, please join Pete Stanga, IDEX’s Executive Director at UC Berkeley on Monday, November 3. Pete will be giving a brief lecture about IDEX and our approach to microcredit, followed by a question and answer session hosted by Paula Goldman.
The lecture will take place in Room 2060, Valley Life Sciences Building, UC Berkeley from on Nov 3, 5:30-7:3-pm. Visit our website for more details.
