“I am very excited about the opportunity to volunteer to serve as MBB’s interim acting Executive Director at this formative time. In this capacity, my work will not be to lead the organization, but to facilitate and support the work of leaders on our Board of Directors and in our expanding membership.
During my 20 years as the Executive Director of Community Mediation, Inc., in New Haven, Conn., USA, I have been a passionate advocate of mediation, community building and dialogue at the local, state, national and international levels. I am looking forward to working with the MBB Board, our members and other strategic partners to do more of this critical work at the international level.” |
