By Bidjan Nashat | CEO, Atlas Corps
Hello,
Thank you for your continued support for Atlas Corps: Empower Women Globally (#GivingToday)! As Atlas Corps continues to move forward into the new year, I’d like to take a moment to thank you for helping us empower our women leaders.
Here are some of our most recent highlights!
Our Global Community Continues to Grow to 1,500+ leaders from 115+ countries! Last month, Atlas Corps welcomed Class 48, a dynamic group of 5 emerging professionals from Cuba, Egypt, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe. I am especially excited to have my former colleagues at Save the Children host Fellow Mai Sami Ahmed from Egypt as their Advocacy Officer Fellow (Child Rights and Participation). I encourage you to meet our new Fellows here.
Atlas Corps Fellows and Scholars highlights! With your support, Fellows like Michelle (Class 44, Mexico) can continue to inspire positive change at their Host Organizations and local communities. While at One to World, Michelle is involved in their flagship program, Global Classroom, which delivers a series of intercultural programs to under-resourced youth. Michelle shares, “it was certainly surprising to later receive letters from some children telling me how I taught them things about their own country that they did not about before – little did I knew there were some Mexican children in the classroom – or others even explaining how they understood their privilege of not having to leave their country alone.”
A Special Farewell from Chief Strategy Officer, Abby Robinson
Lastly, I have one more very important update to share with you. Please join our Team in wishing our Chief Strategy Officer an Atlas Corps Alum Abby a farewell. After 12.5 years on our Team, Abby has been a valuable team member and an inspiration to our entire Community. As an Alum she will continue to bring her positive energy to our Community. Here is a special thank you from Abby:
Atlas Corps is a special part of all of our journeys. Atlas Corps is about connecting with dynamic individuals who share a passion for possibility. Thank you, Atlas Corps Community (staff, donors, volunteers, and more) for providing me the opportunity to be a Fellow and believing in my ability to grow and lead this organization. The future is bright and I am excited to be part of it!
Thank you once again for all you have done for the Atlas Corps Community. We are grateful for your friendship and what you do for Atlas Corps and I am excited for what this year has in store for us!
Kindly,
Bidjan
