WOCCU’s President/CEO Elissa McCarter LaBorde

On the same day the Washington, D.C. offices of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) locked its offices to employees after billionaire Elon Musk said President Donald Trump agreed with him to close the agency, WOCCU’s President/CEO Elissa McCarter LaBorde sent a letter to the new U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio asking him to honor “existing obligations of funding” while the government reviews all foreign aid programs.

In the letter dated Monday, McCarter LaBorde said the decision to shut down USAID programs has placed WOCCU in a potentially tough financial position.
