The Board of Directors, Overseers and staff of the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ are deeply saddened by the loss of Andrew Grove, innovative business executive, champion of refugees, and valued longtime member of the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ board of directors and ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Overseers.

A survivor of the Nazi Holocaust and the 1956 Soviet invasion of his native Hungary, Andrew was resettled in the U.S. as a refugee by the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in 1957. He was elected to the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Board of Directors in 1999 and became an ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ overseer in 2004. His foundation is the founding supporter of the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡'s Pathways to Citizenship program, which helps resettled refugees and other legal immigrants achieve U.S. citizenship.

Andrew was one of ten distinguished refugees who were honored by the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ at the 2010 Freedom Award Dinner, where he spoke passionately about the meaning of citizenship.

We express our heartfelt sympathy to his wife, Eva, a fellow refugee; his two daughters and eight grandchildren; and to his entire family.
