An Update – USAID Staff Financial Support Fund needs your support! Links to donate to the fund or to apply for a grant are below.
The good news is that through the generous support of donors the UAA fund has approved grants to more than 108 RIFed USAID staff. The number of people helped is much larger than that when family members are counted. The appreciation of those who have received grants has filled our email box. We continue to receive applications for grants and soon we will be unable to approve applications due to a shortage of funds. Amazingly we have received over $250,000 in donations, in amounts from $10 to $100,000, from 206 individuals, both UAA members and nonmembers. Many donors have given individual donations in the $1000 to $5000 range, and these, along with a few larger donations account for the majority of funds collected. Of course, all donations have contributed to the fund’s success to date by reaching so many people in need.
Here is one of many thank you notes we have received: “I just want to say thank you to UAA for what you are doing. This is a critical lifeline and my wife and I are so grateful for your support, and I am sure the same is true for so many other USAID families. Thank you for your rapid review and approval, and all the work that went into building this fund.”
As a reminder, the UAA is collecting contributions for a USAID staff financial support fund to help as many of the thousands of separated USAID staff as possible to weather the financial strains resulting from their abrupt termination. We are using contributions to fund a grant program to assist terminated staff who are facing unexpected immediate expenses such as temporary housing, medical costs, childcare/eldercare, job search and transportation. The UAA has partnered with the Greater Washington Community Foundation to provide low cost-efficient management services for the fund. Staff who were involuntarily separated or took early retirement from a USAID position after January 20, 2025, and who fall into one of the following employment categories are eligible to apply for a grant: GS, FS, FSL, USPSC, RSSA, PASA, AD, Schedule C, or Fellow position; or former FSN released from USAID-related employment after January 20, 2025 and with SIV residence in the USA for 1 year or less.
The UAA thanks you for your generous support!

Welcome Home from the UAA Board:
Welcome Home!
The USAID Alumni Association (UAA) wants to help our colleagues coming home! And we would love to have you join this effort!
The UAA’s mandate is to support FS, GS, PASAs, and other USG hires, particularly now as staff transition out of USAID. If you are still working at USAID but will be leaving soon, please look at the services we are developing to help you in this transition.
We urge you to join the Association once you retire or otherwise leave USAID, to support our work to keep the USAID legacy and history alive, help us continue assisting our colleagues, and build a strong, vibrant community of development experts over the coming months and years.
In these turbulent, uncertain times, UAA’s role is to keep alumni updated with the evolution of USAID and the development ecosystem. We are actively involved in a wide range of activities designed to promote and defend USAID, to help gather and support the knowledge base of the Agency, and most importantly to ensure that USAID staff about to leave the Agency have help to:
- Get the information they need on benefits and legal rights.
- Assist in making the transition back to the US regarding housing, retraining options, schools, and staff care support. We now have contacts for most of the Missions. We are expanding our network across the U.S. as we prepare to support you upon your return. We are organizing an expanded mentoring program to include a “buddy system” beyond your return from overseas and departure from USAID.
- Provide options for targeted financial support.
- Offer opportunities and support for sharing your experiences with the American public and others.
- Helping to save USAID’s knowledge base, and explore what happens next (USAID 2.0)
Our website, www.usaidalumni.org, has more on the UAA, including information on who is eligible to be a member and the Association’s overall purpose. Membership dues are tax-deductible.
IT’S EASY TO BECOME A UAA MEMBER. First, register with the UAA to verify your eligibility and then apply for membership. For those who have retired or were terminated in 2025, we have a special rate of $1 per calendar year through 2026 to minimize the financial impact in these challenging times and give you the opportunity to become involved with the Association’s many activities.
May 20, 2025
For our new members, welcome to the UAA!. We want to hear from you. We hope you have received an email inviting you to join one of two listening sessions on September 18th. If you did not receive the email, please let us know by contacting office@usaid.alumni.org. We are looking forward to engaging with you.
Note from the UAA Board, Sept. 8, 2025
September: the end of summer and, this year, the end of USAID as we knew it. By September 2, DEVEX reported that barely three dozen employees were left to finalize close-out activities and out-processing of staff members. Excluding lives lost, careers and families up-ended, and goodwill extinguished, some accounts predict that the costs of legal fees, contract terminations, expiration and destruction of emergency foods and medicines, loss of materials and supplies, severance payments, and more, could meet or exceed the ‘savings’ of shuttering USAID. A colossal waste of resources and a disastrous blow to the world’s most vulnerable populations as well as to US international standing.
The dissolution of USAID has brought a surge of new members to UAA: our ranks have grown by several hundred in the last few months, nearly doubling our membership. WELCOME! Now we need your voices, thoughts, ideas and energy to help UAA transition to the new reality: UAA without USAID! What should we do? What should be our priorities? Who should be our members and how can we best serve them? What of advocacy efforts?
We will begin this journey with Listening Sessions at 8:00am and 5:00pm on September 18 to gather ideas from all members. We hope you have received an email inviting you to join one of two listening sessions. If you did not receive the email, please let us know by contacting office@usaid.alumni.org. We are looking forward to engaging with you.
Hoping to see many of you at UAA activities this fall including our Annual General Meeting.

Calendar
New! On Tuesday, September 30, 2025, from 11:45 – 2:00 there will be a UAA/DACOR Development Dialogue luncheon (and virtual) at DACOR. The featured speaker will be Liz Schrayer, the President and CEO of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition – a broad-based coalition of over 500 businesses and NGOs that advocates for strong U.S. global leadership through development and diplomacy. She will speak on “How America Wins in The World”. To register for this event please click here.
New! On Tuesday, October 7, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM, the UAA Development Issues Committee will host a virtual discussion with Tod Preston, Executive Director of the Managing Foreign Assistance Network, to discuss MFAN’s “Consensus Principles & Recommendations for the Future of U.S. International Assistance.” A deeper dive on MFAN’s recommendations is timely as we prepare for UAA’s Annual General Meeting, in which we will discuss future directions for international cooperation and a role for our organization. The discussion will be open to all UAA members who have made a 2025 contribution. Please register for this discussion by COB Friday, October 3. (Registration link to be posted soon) All those who register will be sent an Email with information on how to join the Zoom meeting on or about Monday, October 6.
New! An in-person UAA Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held Friday, October 31, at the Center for Global Development (CGD). Members who prefer to attend virtually and those who live outside the Washington, DC, area will be able to join via Zoom. The meeting will begin at 9:00 am, with in-person attendees provided coffee and snacks at 8: 30. The meeting will end at 1: 30 followed by lunch for in-person attendees.
The Keynote Address this year will feature a former Deputy Administrator, Jim Kunder, reflecting on the events that have led to USAID’s demise and his thoughts about the future. Next the two Board Co-Chairs, Tony Chan and Roberta Mahoney, will summarize UAA’s activities during the past year, especially activities since January 2025. Following a break, we will feature a panel discussion on the Future of International Development Cooperation, moderated by Raj Kumar, President and Editor-in-Chief of Devex. The panelists will be Ndidi Okonkwo Nwueli, CEO of the One Campaign, Charles Kenny, Senior Fellow at CGD and Andrew Herscowitz of Rockefeller Foundation Catalytic Capital. There will be plenty of time for Q&A with both the in-person and online participants. The next session will entail a discussion with UAA Board members about the Future of UAA. Given that USAID no longer exists and there has been an influx of new members, we need to discuss UAA’s future mandate and the membership’s priorities. To prepare for this discussion, two “listening sessions” are scheduled for September 18 aimed especially at new members to allow their views to be heard and vetted.

UAA Hosts the 2025 Annual Picnic Opening the Doors to All Former Staff and Families.
On September 6 UAA’s Annual Picnic was held at Fort Hunt Park in Alexandria. It was a sunny warm afternoon as hundreds made their way to the pavilion. Roughly 500 people streamed into the area spreading blankets and chairs under the trees and filling tables with an incredible array of dishes. We were ably supported by Daniel from the National Park Service and are grateful for his wonderful assistance throughout. A collection was made by a group of our colleagues of computers and phones to be donated to the World Computer Exchange which will benefit young people around the world. We also promoted the newly established Support Fund which has been launched to support our colleagues during their transitions.
With banners celebrating USAID Forever people renewed friendships, shared experiences and plans. The warmth and compassion far outweighed the overwhelming task in front of all. Conversations are planned to create a way forward for the Alumni Association that will lead into the Annual General Meeting in October. Hopefully, we will do that with the input of new members from diverse backgrounds and new ideas. Our congratulations and appreciation to the many people who contributed, planned and supported the day. The Social Committee, Karen Freeman, Margot Ellis, Denise Rollins, Melissa Williams, Sharon Pauling and Monika Gorzelanska, is grateful for the support of Cheryl Anderson, Beth Hogan, Carol Dabbs, David McCloud and Roberta Mahoney and Chris Milligan and so many others who pitched in to make the day such a welcoming and historic success for UAA.

Annual “Development Wallahs” Picnic in Vermont
More than 40 former USAID employees gathered for a picnic in Rochester, Vermont on July 23. The gathering included long-time retirees as well as those who were dismissed in the last few months as USAID was dissolved. In addition to many Vermonters, people came from Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut to renew friendships, celebrate USAID’s achievements and share information on efforts to assist those who were dismissed
without notice or support.
Vermont residents Ann and Mike Van Dusen, Anne Aarnes and David Sprague, Connie Carrino and Jeff Sharat, and Margaret Neuse co-hosted the picnic. At the request of the group, Susan Fine, UAA’s coordinator for New England, described UAA’s on-going programs and plans for future activities in the region. David McCloud explained UAA’s recently established grant program to assist staff facing medical, housing, and other immediate crises. Roberta Mahoney also discussed UAA’s efforts to preserve vital information about USAID programs and achievements over the past 64 years and to help USAID’s staff navigate career
transitions.
This was the 18th year that USAID alumni have organized the Development Wallahs picnic in Vermont. Despite the abrupt and destructive liquidation of USAID, attendance at the picnic was the highest ever and pride in USAID’s accomplishments was off the charts.
USAID Appreciation Event at Georgetown University
On June 30, thousands of USAID employees tuned into one of two USAID Appreciation Events co-sponsored by Georgetown University, the Aid Transition Alliance (AidTA) Project, and the USAID Alumni Association. Remarks by President Bush and President Obama opened the events which also featured panel discussions with eight of USAID’s former Administrators. Two Nobel Peace Prize laureates, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia and President Juan Manual Santos of Colombia thanked USAID for the enduring impact it has had in bringing peace to their countries. Other guests included former USAID employees and former UN Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield. Lead singer for U2 and renowned humanitarian Bono shared a poem dedicated to our USAID colleagues. Those in attendance also learned of wide ranging support being provided by the UAA and other organizations. The UAA wishes to thank Tony Pryor and Chris Milligan for the hours of work they contributed that made this a powerfully moving, emotional and historic event. The New York Times carried an article about this event:
- Bush, Obama and Bono Commend USAID Staff Members on Their Last Day. By Christopher Flavelle, The New York Times, 30 Jun 2025

Legislative Briefing for USAID Alumni Association
With the assistance of Joy Riggs Perla and Chris Milligan, Aid On The Hill (AOTH) provided a virtual legislative briefing for USAID Alumni Association members on June 26. AOTH is a non-partisan grassroots organization, consisting of former USAID staff working alongside a large coalition of advocacy groups including One Aid, USGLC and others.
UAA members were briefed on current legislative actions that will impact foreign assistance, including the Rescission, FY 26 appropriation, and potential State Reauthorization bill. UAA members also learned about effective ways of engaging with their representatives to express their personal views on potential legislation. AOTH’s briefing slides will be distributed to the UAA attendees.
Spring Reception at DACOR
On Thursday, May 29th, the USAID Alumni Association hosted its largest Spring Reception in many years. Traditionally, our Spring Receptions have attracted about 65–70 members. This year, however, we received 144 RSVPs for in person and 57 for virtual, with actual attendance of 116 attending in person, and around 40 guests participating virtually.
Clearly, the USAID community was eager to reconnect and gain insights into the future of international development and humanitarian assistance. The event was started off by a welcome by Ken Yamashita, Co-chair of the UAA Board and introductions by Margot Ellis, Co-Chair of the Social Committee which was responsible for planning the event.
We were joined by former USAID Administrator Peter McPherson who offered perspectives closing with, “America cannot be great if we do not do good” setting the stage for a forward-looking discussion.
Under the theme “The Road Ahead: A Path Forward for Humanitarian and Development Assistance,” we were honored to welcome three distinguished experts (from left to right):
- Raj Kumar, Editor-in-Chief and President of Devex, the leading media platform for the international development community.
- Jim Kunder, former Deputy Administrator and Assistant Administrator for Asia and the Near East is currently a Steering Committee member of the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network (MFAN).
- Richard Parker, former Assistant Administrator for Legislative and Public Affairs, is now a Senior Advisor to USGLC; and,
- The panel was skillfully moderated by Susan Reichle, former Counselor of the Agency, and former President and CEO of the International Youth Foundation.
Together, they led a lively and thought-provoking discussion on the current landscape and what lies ahead for humanitarian development ecosystem. From an update on current legislation and the State’s reorganization proposal, to the role of MDBs, foundations and the private sector, the discussion provided rich material to inform UAA as it shapes its future agenda. We did not record the event and could hardly recap it here but suffice to say that all see a continuing need for foreign assistance while varying in its format and scope. Look for more discussion at the AGM in October.
Christine Sheckler in San Diego provided a brief update on work to establish regional branches, an effort that is taking hold in Florida, moving along in California and the west and continues to have interest in the northeast, North Carolina and the southwest. Linkages are being explored with the World Affairs Council and the Association of Retired Foreign Service Officers. Please get in touch with Christine Sheckler, Susan Fine, Miles Toder or Rebecca Black if you are interested.
After the formal program, attendees had the opportunity to socialize, reconnect with former colleagues, and strengthen existing relationships. It was an incredibly inspiring and energizing afternoon. (Please see the June 2025 Newsletter for more photos taken at this event.)
Development Dialogues
The UAA/DACOR Development Dialogues and the UAA Development Issues Committee Dialogues provide interactive conversations on a broad range of topics relevant to the interests of international development professionals.
Below are summaries of the most recent events. Each includes a link either to an audio or video of the event. Being able to listen or watch an event should be of particular interest to Association members who live outside the DC area.
For a full archive of all events that have audio or video availability, please click here.
Notice:
DACOR has decided that virtual attendance at its programs – including the UAA/DACOR Development Dialogues – will now cost $10 per program, plus a 3% charge for credit card payments. This fee had been voluntary, and many had paid the fee, but in view of the base cost to host virtual or hybrid events, the DACOR Board concluded that all participants should share the expense. The cost of DACOR lunches will remain at $35.
UAA/DACOR Development Dialogue:
Dr. Homi Kharas on “From Aid-Driven To Investment-Driven Models of Sustainable Development”
The Development Issues Committee, on September 9, hosted a discussion with Dr. Homi Kharas, Senior Fellow with the Center for Sustainable Development at the Brookings Institution. Dr. Kharas presented his co-authored paper, on “From Aid-Driven To Investment-Driven Models of Sustainable Development.” The paper argues that development finance should be based on estimates of financial needs for environmentally sustainable development in Emerging and Developing Economies in an inter-connected world and that both public and private resources should be mobilized to address these needs. Identified needs include health and education, physical infrastructure, resilience, biodiversity conservation and sustainable agriculture.
UAA/DACOR Development Dialogue:
Yun Sun on “How Will China Exploit the Retreat of U.S. Diplomacy and Aid?”
On July 22, 2025, a large crowd at DACOR and online heard a very interesting and detailed presentation from Yun Sun, Senior Fellow and Co-Director of the East Asia Program and Director of the China Program at the Stimson Center. Her topic at this UAA/DACOR Development Dialogue luncheon was the very timely “How Will China Exploit the Retreat of U.S. Diplomacy and Aid?” Click here to see the full program, including the Q&A period.
UAA/DACOR Development Dialogue:
George Ingram on “Where is Development Going? Learning from Experience.”
On Monday, May 19, George Ingram, retiring Senior Fellow at the Brookings’ Center for Sustainable Development, led a conversation with a sold-out crowd at a UAA/DACOR Development Dialogue hybrid luncheon at DACOR on “Where is Development Going? Learning from Experience.” The meeting concluded with a slide show tribute to George for his more than fifty years of development experience. Click here to follow the entire session.
UAA/DACOR Development Dialogue:
Prof. Danny Leipziger spoke on Industrial Policy
On Friday, April 4, 2025, GWU Professor and long-time World Bank economist Danny Leipziger spoke at a UAA/DACOR Development Dialogue (hybrid) luncheon session at DACOR. His engaging and thought-provoking topic was “Is Industrial Policy Still a Dirty Word?” He provided a great synthesis of evolving views on industrial policy, with useful references to history and to contributions of eminent researchers and to World Bank thinking and policy as well.

“The Enduring Struggle: The History of the U.S. Agency for International Development and America’s Uneasy Transformation of the World “
by John Norris
John Norris‘ book, The Enduring Struggle – The History of the Agency for International Development and America’s Uneasy Transformation of the World, was published in July 2021. In a short review, Foreign Affairs wrote: “This comprehensive history of the U.S. Agency for International Development…deserves to be read by all students of U.S. foreign policy.” A very positive review of The Enduring Struggle by Mary Jane Maxwell has recently been published in the Journal of World History.

Additions to the Bibliography of USAID Authors
Three new books have been added to the Bibliography of USAID Authors:
Cheema JK. The Black Attache. Caumet Editions, ISBN-10.1960250809.
The Black Attache by JK Cheema is a blend of history, travelogue and reflections in the form of short vignettes from Cheema’s life. In the Black Attache, Cheema shares her memories from the events she experienced during the India-Pakistan partition to her growing up in India, nearly dying on the last train out from Lahore, Pakistan. It covers her time at graduate school in Ann Arbor and her very lengthy and unusual career with USAID. She served in several backstops, mostly in difficult posts such as Burkina Faso, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Eritrea and Afghanistan and became a senior foreign service officer. After 25 years overseas, including several consultancies, she retired to Madison, Wisconsin, settling back in the US with her husband Jeffrey Wright. The Black Attache is the first of her two books sharing her life. It is a snapshot of a young girl born in India, aspiring to make a difference in the world and doing so as a foreign service officer with USAID.
Cheema joined USAID in 1991 as a Health officer. Her first tour was in Burkina Faso as the director of the Health and Populations office. After two years she was assigned as the acting USAID Rep and tasked with closing the USAID Mission. In 1995, Cheema moved to the Regional Central Asia Mission in Almaty as the General Development Office in the Social Transition Office where she primarily managed the health reform portfolio. In 1991, Cheema moved to Armenia as the Deputy Mission Director, responsible for establishing the Armenia mission as an independent USAID Mission and being responsible for the Nagorno Karabakh programs. In 2001, Cheema was assigned as the Mission Director to Eritrea, where she was promoted into the ranks of the senior foreign service. In 2005 she moved to Ghana, first as the Director of the West Africa Regional Programs (WARP) and then as Mission Director for the newly established West Africa Regional Mission. After mandatory retirement at the age of sixty-five, Cheema continued to work first as the senior policy advisor to the USAID/Afghanistan Mission (2008-2009) and then as the Acting Mission Director to Armenia (2009-2012). During spring of 2016, she did two short term assignments, one to Sierra Leone and then to Guinea-Conakry. In the fall of 2016, she moved to Almaty as the acting Mission Director for the Central Asia Mission. Cheema finally retired from USAID work in the fall of 2017 and devoted her time to community work and as a writer in Madison, where she settled with her husband Jeffrey Wright and where she founded “A Place to Be,” a salon for creative conversation and dialogue.

UAA Partnership with American University Library Archives
Since 2019 the American University Library Archives have welcomed donations of AID alumni personal memorabilia of their USAID service. The UAA has now established a partnership with the Archives to support the preparation, processing, and making available to researchers of these papers, including those donated by the UAA and by individual alumni and others. We envision the program will continue for five or more years; after two years the Archivist and UAA will assess the program’s effectiveness before committing for the additional years. The UAA has pledged an initial sum of $10,000 over two years ($5,000 each year) to finance student interns to help prepare and organize these papers and make them more easily available. The funding for this program is drawn entirely from contributions made to the AID history project, which included the clear hope that the book would stimulate further study and understanding of AID’s more than 60 years of development history. AID alumni are strongly urged to consider donating their memorabilia to this collection. (See https://usaidalumni.org/uaa-and-american-university-archives-opportunity-for-usaid-alumni/)
