November 10, 2014 (Washington, D.C.) – The Board of Directors of Women for Women International (WfWI) announced today that women’s empowerment and human rights advocate Jennifer L. Windsor will serve as its next chief executive officer.
Windsor is the third chief executive to lead the global development organization that has served more than 420,000 women living in conflict-affected countries since its founding in 1993 by visionary leaders Zainab Salbi and Amjad Atallah. The organization’s 500 staff are located in 11 country offices. Windsor will be based at the headquarters in Washington, D.C.
“We believe Jennifer is exactly the strong, committed leader that Women for Women International needs to move forward and advance its vision and mission. A passionate advocate for the rights of women around the world, Jennifer will be drawing on the organization’s powerful 20 year record to boost the reach and results of our programs,” said Danuta Lockett, Chair of the Board of Directors.
Windsor comes to WfWI after four years at Georgetown University where she served as Associate Dean for Programs in the School of Foreign Service. Under her leadership she oversaw the creation of the Georgetown Initiative for Women, Peace and Security and served as its Interim Director.
“I am excited and humbled by the opportunity to lead Women for Women International, the only organization exclusively dedicated to serving the most marginalized women affected by conflict and war and living in the most difficult places,” said Windsor. “The women we serve — their courage, their strength and their resilience — are an inspiration to me. I look forward to working with the talented staff and dedicated board members to further advance the mission and reach of Women for Women International.”…
