Exciting New Leadership for Friends of Jordan 

Welcome, Mabruuk, and Ahlan wa Sahlan.  The new and veteran 2009 Friends of Jordan Officers are looking forward to fulfilling their responsibilities in support of Friends of Jordan and Peace Corps as well as the people and culture of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.  

  

We are thrilled that David Rosenberg has accepted the position as President and Bill Thomas has accepted the position of Vice-President for the remainder of the year.  David has demonstrated exceptional commitment and leadership in his previous roles as Programming and Vice-President and we are eager to have him continue in this new role.  Bill is a former AO in the Peace Corps Jordan office and will be returning to Amman at the end of the summer, this time as a trailing spouse.
