Earlier this month, I attended the First Annual No Limits Public Policy Conference in Washington, D.C. No Limits, a non-profit issues-based, education foundation uses new technology and social networking to encourage an exchange of ideas on a range of domestic and international policy challenges.

Secretary Hillary Clinton gave the keynote address and spoke passionately about the Obama administration’s efforts to elevate development as a US foreign policy priority. The Secretary of State said that helping developing countries lift themselves from extreme poverty is “in pursuit of our interests and in accordance with our values,” as Americans. She continued: “And it is part of the American message at core that we believe not just in a better life for our own people, but we think helping those around the world to a better life is good for America, that it gives us a chance to see our values in action.”

I caught up with No Limits President, Ann Lewis, after the conference who is a fan of ONE and happily put on a ONE band! Her members and ONE supporters throughout the world are united in their belief that together there are “no limits” to what is possible – including ending extreme poverty in our lifetime!
