Autumn winds have blown in a few changes at GCP HQ. Firstly, we would like to bid a friendly goodbye to former Programme Assistant, Laura Ruiz, who took leave of GCP at the end of October 2010, after just over three years in the position. Laura was a cheerful and enthusiastic member of the team at GCP, and is now pursuing a new role in the Training department at CIMMYT. We wish you all the best in your new challenge, Laura!
