Enterprise Seattle Economic Forecast Conference (January 17, 2007)

Magazine Publishers of America (October 17, 2005)
Remarks by Patty Stonesifer, chief executive officer
"You can force us as citizens to really see the problem. You can analyze and promote the solutions that are already available. And you can hold governments—ours and others—donors and recipients—accountable. You can make us say, “We know what the problem is, we know what the solution is, and we can make this change.”"


U.S. Fund for UNICEF (June 23, 2005)

Remarks by Patty Stonesifer, chief executive officer
"I’m here today to talk about our shared goal: how we can save millions of young children who die needlessly every year. Of course, UNICEF cannot do this alone. The United States government can’t do it alone. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation certainly can’t do it alone."
