Dear Ms. Gorham:
June 30, 1982
This letter is a follow-up to our telephone conversation
confirming the selection of Mr. Denis N. Odongopiny as the
Operations Manager for the Uganda Cooperative Transport Union.
He is a holder of a mechanical engineering degree as well as a
masters degree in business administration and therefore should
profit greatly from the training that has been planned for him
at Land o'Lakes. The timing and content of the proposed training
should give him complete exposure and nands-on experience
in the entire operation of a transportation distribution system.
It appears that Dale has allowed time to cover every aspect of
the operations. However, I am sure thure will be additions,
deletions and changes as you move through the implementation
phase of training.
I've enclosed for your information a copy of the "Selection
Process" which was designed by Jim Guderyon, ACDI's Chief of Party
in Kenya and former Manager of Personnel Development at CENEX.
He spent a week in Kampala working with the USAID staff and varions
Ugandan government officials to set up this process. By the way,
he will be on home leave in late July and August,back in Min,'.
polis, so I hope he can meet with you and Dale Bonde to discubs
the Uganda scene. Since Jim will be returning to Nairobi, he can
be very helpful to those going to Uganda in facilitating their
requests with the USAID offices in Nairobi.
After discussion with you regarding your vacatioT. schedule,
we have arranged for Mr. Odongopiny (0-doan-go-penny) to arrive ia
Washington, D.C. on or about July 19. He will participate in a
one-week orientation for foreign visitors to the 'k-.S. provided by
the Washington International Center. He will then travel to
Minneapolis on July 24 on Northwest flight #69 arriving about
2:14 p.m. Hopefully Dale can meet him and get him lodged for the
remainder of the weekend.
