reforms.

Helping to Enhance the Livelihood of People Around the Globe (HELP) 
Commission, a bi-partisan Commission tasked by Congress to review U.S. 
foreign assistance programs and make actionable recommendations on 
reform to the President, Secretary of State and Congress, have been 
invited to address the ACVFA on the Commission's forthcoming 
recommendations.
    Mission Directors: USAID Mission Directors from Latin America, 
Africa, and Asia have been invited to speak about the implementation of 
the foreign assistance reforms as seen on the ground.
