SUMMARY:Lunch with Amy Pope - IOM Director General
DESCRIPTION:Amy Pope\, Director General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) – United Nations Migration Agency will be our guest speaker \nAmy Pope Biography \nAmy Pope became Director General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on 1 October 2023\, bringing a wealth of experience in addressing complex migration issues and passion for changing the global narrative about people on the move. She is the first woman to hold the post in IOM’s 73-year history. \nIn the early part of her five-year term\, Ms. Pope put the organization on a new strategic path designed to ensure that IOM can respond to an increasingly complex migration landscape. The new direction enables IOM to help save and protect people on the move today\, but also to be proactive about challenges before they become crises. \nBuilding on reforms she began implementing as IOM’s Deputy Director General for Management and Reform\, Ms. Pope has also led organizational changes that focus IOM’s structure and resources toward the work its teams do in the field. \nBefore joining IOM\, DG Pope served as the Senior Advisor on Migration to US President Biden and served as the Deputy Homeland Security Advisor to President Obama. While at the White House\, Ms. Pope developed and implemented comprehensive strategies to address migration in areas such as countering trafficking in persons\, resettling refugees\, and vulnerable people\, and preparing communities to respond and adapt to climate-related crises. \nMs. Pope has also occupied positions at the US Department of Justice and US Senate and was a Partner in the London-based law firm\, Schillings. She graduated magna cum laude from the Duke University School of Law with a Juris Doctor and has a BA in Political Science (with Honors) from Haverford College in Pennsylvania. Ms. Pope is married\, with two daughters.
