>At this time of economic uncertainty and transition, the demands on our Organization continue to grow.  That places immense responsibility on us all.  I thank you, once again, for the commitment and sense of high purpose that you bring to our work each and every day.
Despite these tough times, the true nature of our calling unites us: to help people in need and make the world a better place.  That is the compact that underpins our work — a compact between one another, between Member States and the Secretariat, and between the Organization and the world’s people.
Looking ahead, I pledge to stand by you to create the good working conditions that are so necessary for us to succeed in our mission.  Your commitment, creativity and hard work shape all that we do, and I am proud to serve alongside you.
