Message from OvR cofounder Leslie Hawke:
I am proud to announce that OvidiuRO’s co-founder Maria Gheorghiu has joined the Prime Minister’s Chancellery as State Counselor for Combating Poverty.

Maria has taken a leave of absence from OvidiuRO to work directly with the Ministries of Education, Labor, Finance, and EU Funds to translate Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos’s 47 point anti-poverty program into an action plan.

I can’t imagine anyone more qualified to take on this challenging assignment than Maria!
