Clause looks forward to his new role with Children International. “Helping children in poverty is a cause that has always been close to my heart. When you invest in a child who’s facing difficult circumstances, you are making their future brighter. You are helping make sure their potential does not go unrecognized. The work that Children International is doing to provide kids around the world a path out of poverty is important. I am excited and proud to join their team.”
