International Women of Courage Award Ceremony — Continued

The AAFSW Board and its President, Dr. Joanna Athanasopoulos Owen, regret that the Associates of the American Foreign Service Worldwide and its Board were not informed of the ceremony regarding the International Women of Courage Award earlier, so that more of AAFSW Board Members could be present to support our AAFSW Membership Chair, Debbi Miller, in her efforts to represent AAFSW. The AAFSW Board and its President, Dr. Joanna Athanasopoulos Owen, thank AAFSW Evacuee Support Board Member, Ann La Porta, who shared the information as soon as she received the notice to the press by the Office of the Spokesperson, the day before the actual event took place.
