Hello NMC community,<\/p>\n
We are writing to share that the International Affairs Forum at NMC embarked upon a leadership transition this month.<\/p>\n
Leila Hilal is stepping down as IAF\u2019s first-ever director. She has made significant contributions since joining IAF in 2019. Her leadership will be missed.<\/p>\n
Assuming the role of director in an interim capacity as of Feb. 1 is a familiar face: IAF board member Jim Bensley, who also serves as an instructor and director of International Services and Service Learning at NMC. He will split his time between the IAF and his other roles.<\/p>\n
Jim will serve for one year, working with the IAF board to more closely integrate its work with NMC. He is ideally positioned to strengthen the IAF-NMC connection. As an instructor, he has enriched his classes at the college with visits from many IAF lecturers, even during the pandemic, and has led the creation of NMC\u2019s Global Endorsement Certificate. He has also led many student study abroad experiences.<\/p>\n
A search committee composed of IAF board members and NMC representatives will conduct a search for a permanent director. This task is expected to be completed by December 31, 2021. Alex Tank, communication and events program officer, will provide additional continuity during the leadership transition.<\/p>\n
IAF’s winter-spring speaker series continues Thursday, Feb. 18, with the virtual presentation, “Outlooks on U.S. National Security.” For more information and to register for this virtual event go to tciaf.com. A Zoom link will be provided upon registration.<\/p>\n
Thank you.<\/p>\n
