Unsung Heroes

The last of many meetings today provided fascinating insights into the work that the foundation's Security team does behind the scenes. Not only do they protect employees in Seattle and wherever they travel to some of the most dangerous countries in the world but they also screen crank calls and emails and have extensive video surveillance to monitor the campus perimeter. Security is very proud of its record of protecting employees with no injuries from traffic accidents, kidnappings or deaths on foundation business in the 15 years we have been in existence. Their intelligence gathering also kept one employee from visiting Afghanistan when a bomb went off the day he would have arrived, and prevented Melinda from getting stuck in a sux hour traffic jam in India!
