24, 2011 at the National Press Club 

located at 529 14th St., NW.,

will set the tone for the meeting. 

Dr. Brady Deaton, the new Chair of 

BIFAD, will preside over the 

proceedings. Dr. Deaton is the 

Chancellor of the University of Missouri 

at Columbia. 

The announcement of the 2011 World 

Food Prize Laureate at the State 

Department on June 21 and the ‘‘Feed 

the Future’’ Research Forum from June 

21 to 23 provide the backdrop for the 

BIFAD public meeting on June 24. The 

meeting will include the participation of 

five new BIFAD presidential 

appointments. Including Dr. Deaton, 

those new members are Jo Luck, 

President of Heifer International, Marty 

McVey of McVey & Company 

Investments Inc., Gebisa Ejeta, 

Distinguished Professor, Department of 

Agronomy, Purdue University and 

Catherine Bertini, Chair, International 

Relations Program and Professor, 

Maxwell School of Citizenship and 

Public Affairs, Syracuse University. 

Board members with continuing service 

include Elsa Murano, Professor and 

President Emerita of Texas A&M 

University and William DeLauder, 

President Emeritus of Delaware State 

University. After opening remarks by 

Dr. Deaton, USAID Administrator Rajiv 

Shah will formally swear in the new 

Board members and make a short 

presentation. At the conclusion of Dr. 

Shah’s remarks, Dr. Deaton will 

acknowledge immediate past Chair 

Robert Easter and the other outgoing 

Board members for their service. 

The BIFAD Summer public meeting 

will focus heavily on the USAID Feed 

the Future (FtF) Initiative. The first 

session will offer USAID, USDA and 

Department of Treasury perspectives on 

the strategic policy considerations for 

FtF and the implications of the 

multilateral process. The panel of 

speakers will include Paul Weisenfeld, 

Assistant Administrator, Bureau for 

Food Security; Julie Howard, Deputy 

Coordinator, Feed the Future; and Lona 

Stoll, USDA Coordinator, Feed the 

Future. Elsa Murano, Chair, Department 

of Agriculture, Texas A&M University 

and BIFAD member, will serve as 

respondent and provide university 

perspectives. 

The second FtF session will review 

outcomes of the Association of Public 

and Land-grant Universities (APLU)-led 

consultative process in response to the 

FtF research strategy. Dr. Montague 

Demment, Professor of Ecology at 

University of California-Davis and 

Associate Vice President for 

International Development of APLU, 

will provide an overview of the 

consultative process for the Board. 

USAID staff will provide an overview of 

the research priority outcomes. Because 

the Collaborative Research Support 

Programs (CRSPs) are among the major 

Title XII university-based research 

programs, Irvin Widders, Director, Dry 

Grains Pulse CRSP, Michigan State 

University, will serve as a respondent to 

address additional issues. 

The Board meeting is open to the 

public, and time will be allotted for a 

public comment period. The Board 

benefits greatly in hearing from the 

stakeholder community and others. To 

ensure that as many people as possible 

have the opportunity to contribute to 

the morning’s discussions, comments 

will be restricted to three minutes for 

each commenter. At the conclusion of 

the public comment period, the Board 

will adjourn the meeting to proceed to 

an executive luncheon and meeting 

(closed to the public).
