Breadcrumbs

The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) team is continuing to grow! We are pleased to announce the addition of several staff and student positions. 

Programming and Events

The Director of Programming and Events leads the strategic development and execution of the Institute’s programming and events portfolio with the goal of shaping advocacy and expanding the Institute’s impact. This position works closely with the GIWPS Executive Director to envision and realize major events—including global summits, VIP visits, and awards ceremonies –and related advocacy and engagement campaigns. They build and nurture programmatic partnerships with governments, multilateral organizations, civil society and funders. In addition, they supervise the program team and ensure program content informs and influences communities of policy and practice advancing the women, peace and security agenda globally.

We congratulate our outgoing Director of Policy and Programs, Allie Smith, on her recent appointment to the U.S. Foreign Service. Allie made immeasurable contributions to GIWPS over her 4.5 year tenure and we wish her the best on this next chapter!
