Peace Corps Announces Leadership Change Today, Peace Corps announced a change in leadership, with Paul Shea (pictured) assuming the Chief Executive Officer role. “Kris Besch, from the Office of Global Operations, will assume the duties of Deputy Chief Executive Officer, and Karen Roberts, currently a senior advisor in the Office of the Director, will assume the duties of Acting Chief of Staff until the administration selects an individual to serve in the position.” We join Peace Corps in thanking Dr. Allison Greene (pictured) for her temporary role as CEO as she returns to her former position as the Director of Overseas Programming and Training Support. Allison inspired the Peace Corps community with her recent remarks at the Peace Corps Connect Conference in July. Per the statement on the Peace Corps website, “Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Allison Greene, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Cheryl Faye, and Acting Chief of Staff, Julie Burns, have stepped down from their positions in order to pave the way for a new leadership team to step in and guide the organizational transformations that will make Peace Corps stronger and more efficient in the long run.” National Peace Corps Association (NPCA) is grateful for the work of the interim leadership team to respond to many of the changes within the Executive Branch over the last 7 months. NPCA CEO Dan Baker looks forward to working with the new leadership to support a pathway for Peace Corps to rebuild to pre-pandemic numbers of Volunteers in the field. Read the Press Release here.
