Announcing Charity Wallace as Special Envoy for Best Future Generations

On July 7, Deputy Secretary Landau swore in Charity Wallace as the Special Envoy for Best Future Generations.  In this role, Special Envoy Wallace will lead U.S. efforts in support of First Lady Melania Trump’s Fostering the Future Together Global Initiative — uniting First Spouses and equivalent leaders from around the world to champion the well-being, safety, and future success of children through the innovative use of advanced technology.

By leveraging American technological leadership to equip the next generation with the skills to learn, grow, and thrive in a rapidly evolving digital world, this Administration is advancing American security and prosperity — and cultivating a generation of partners in innovation, stability, and shared economic growth. Educated, skilled youth are the foundation of stable, prosperous societies — and enduring partners for the United States.

A proven architect of public-private partnerships, Special Envoy Wallace has spent her career building coalitions and programs that deliver results for children and families worldwide. She brings deep expertise in global development, foreign policy and education — including organizing presidential-level summits with nearly 30 African first ladies, mobilizing more than $4.1 billion in private sector investment as Senior Vice President at the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, and developing landmark education and empowerment programs for women and children across Africa and the Middle East. Her commitment is steadfast, and I look forward to partnering with her in this important work.
