I’m proud to take on this new role at InterAction, the largest alliance of U.S.-based international non-governmental organizations, at a time when it’s more important than ever for humanitarian organizations to work together. With more people displaced than ever before, conflict erupting around the world and extreme weather increasing in intensity, this kind of collaboration and collective power can make a real difference. And I look forward to more events like the InterAction Forum I attended recently, where Gayle E. Smith delivered amazing remarks reminding us all that we are stronger together and collectively we can make change and make the world a better place. I left the event feeling incredibly energized and inspired – from the speakers and the wonderful opportunity to connect with colleagues, including Tom Hart , Michelle Nunn, Abby Maxman, Janti Soeripto and Tessie San Martin.
Meet InterAction's new Board Members! InterAction extends a heartfelt thanks to Sharif A., Dianne Calvi, Carol Jenkins, Koby Langley, Eskinder Negash, Michelle Nunn, and Michael J. Nyenhuis for their service to InterAction. A special thanks goes out to Abby Maxman, our outgoing Board Chair, for her steadfast commitment to InterAction over six years. We look forward to their continued engagement as leaders in our NGO community. As we said goodbye to these eight outstanding leaders, we were excited to announce three Board Members who have transitioned to leadership positions—Janti Soeripto, President and CEO of Save the Children US, was elected Board Chair; Christine Squires, President and CEO of Americares, was elected Vice-Chair; and Rabih Torbay, President and CEO of Project HOPE, was elected Treasurer.
