On October 16, I joined everybody under the tent for the NIH 2019 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) Kickoff. The NIH’s National Eye Institute (NEI) is my co-chair for this year’s campaign, and our theme is: “Show Some Love.” During the kickoff, I took this photo with (l-r) Diane Rehm, the popular retired radio talk show host who was our guest speaker; Santa Tumminia, acting NEI director; and Brian Trent, NEI’s associate director for management and executive officer. The CFC annual campaign collects charitable donations from federal employees to support charities and causes of each donor’s choice. The NIH’s goal this year is to raise $2 million. Credit: Leslie E.
