Sponsored by the US Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the three-week program, established in 2016, is designed to bring together senior officials from around the world with professional counterparts in the United States to facilitate leadership development, multilateral collaboration and cooperation on shared global challenges.
Hassan-Nahoum is one of 10 leaders selected to participate in this year's program.
The Fellows will spend 18 days in September in the United States, starting in Washington, DC, followed by a seven-day course at the Harvard Kennedy School, the public policy school of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Then, they travel individually to various cities to be paired for a few days with counterparts who are doing similar work. The US Embassy in Jerusalem, which nominated Hassan-Nahoum, recommended that she be assigned to either Chicago or New York.
