RE: 1) COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON
2) MEETING AGENDA, APRIL 21, 2005
As many of you know, Janet Clifford retired as President of MFS Service Center, Inc. at
the end of 2004. Accordingly, Jan will be on hand at this meeting to help us make the transition
to a new committee chairperson. We have been very fortunate to have had the benefit of Jan’s
leadership, considerable industry experience, judgment and insight as committee chair for the
last several years. Jan has been a tremendous asset to the Institute and the industry and a warm
friend to countless current and former industry professionals during her long career. I know
you all join us in wishing Jan the very best in the years ahead.
We are also fortunate that Doug Anderson, Senior Vice President of Delaware
Investments, has agreed to succeed Jan as chairperson of the Operations Committee. Doug
brings to the role extensive knowledge and experience regarding industry operations and
policy matters and the respect and admiration of his peers. Doug and his operations group at
Delaware are major contributors to the Institute’s work on behalf of funds and their
shareholders. Please join us in welcoming Doug as our new committee leader and extending to
him your active participation and support.
