For the world you live in. . . Please Join us on May 20

What happens on a global level when we decide to actively participate in
the shaping of our future? What are the relationships between important
global issues like family planning, poverty, health, environmental
protection, and human rights?

As we celebrate our 70th year in this community, we are proud to sponsor
a luncheon in honor of the International Planned Parenthood Federation
(IPPF). While we provide reproductive health services and education to
people in our community, we are well aware of the importance of their
availability worldwide.

We welcome our guest speaker Steven W. Sinding to Seattle. Please join
us in caring for our future - and that of the world around us.

Sincerely,
Art Wang
Planned Parenthood of Western Washington Board Chair

Dr. Steven W. Sinding is Director General of the International Planned
Parenthood Federation (IPPF). Under his leadership the Federation
developed a ten-year vision and framework focused on five priorities
(Youth, HIV/AIDS, Abortion, Access and Advocacy). Prior to joining IPPF
in 2002, Dr. Sinding was Professor of Clinical Public Health at the
Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University. He was a Senior
Population Adviser to the World Bank. He worked for the Rockefeller
Foundation from 1991 to 1999, and had a 20 year career at the U.S.
Agency for International Development. He has written extensively on
international population issues.

For seventy years, since 1935, Planned Parenthood of Western Washington
has been a steady presence in our community. Planned Parenthood has led
the way to expanded access to safe and affordable methods of birth
control and more comprehensive reproductive health care. Today, Planned
Parenthood of Western Washington is the second largest Planned
Parenthood affiliate in the United States, serving teens, women and men
throughout western Washington with a wide range of reproductive health
services.
