 Warm greetings from the Commonwealth of Learning. What's most impressive about ICDE? Let me share my top three likes. First, I'm amazed at how ICDE achieves so much international visibility with such a small complement of staff. Second, under Guard's leadership, we are seeing more members coming from the global south making ICDE an inclusive and diverse organization. Third, ICDE has involved a wide range of stakeholders from around the world in developing its new strategic plan, which also takes into account wider global issues such as sustainable development. In short, ICDE is what I would call an organization of the 21st century responsive and relevant to the needs of its members.
