Hillary Clinton on Sunday resigned from the board of the Clinton Foundation to focus on her just-launched presidential campaign, POLITICO has learned.
Clinton announced her resignation in an email to the foundation’s employees Sunday afternoon, not long after launching her presidential campaign with a digital media blitz.
“While I have cherished my time serving on the board and engaging in the day-to-day work of the Foundation, in order to devote myself to this new, all-encompassing endeavor, I have resigned from the Board of Directors effective today,” she wrote in an email obtained by POLITICO. “As I step down from that position, I know that I am leaving the Foundation in great hands. I am equally as excited that Chelsea will continue to lead the Foundation’s mission with Bill, building upon our family’s commitment to help all people live their best life story.”
Hillary Clinton had joined the board of the $2-billion foundation soon after stepping down as Secretary of State in February 2013. Her daughter Chelsea became vice chair at the same time, and the foundation, which had been established as the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation, was renamed the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Foundation.
