Outgoing Chairperson Heather Thalheimer of New Hampshire pledged continued support and cooperation as she welcomed her successor. Dr. Lenaghan reflected “Miami is now a principal hub of Service For Peace in the Western Hemisphere and the world, among hubs in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe. I believe the two core concepts of Service For Peace globally “connecting people to peace through service” and “the facilitation and sustenance of communities of peace” can be informed and inspired by my commitment and competencies derived from multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-lingual Miami, microcosm of the world and Democracy’s College, Miami Dade College - America’s largest, most diverse and most internationally representative higher education institution. I cherish the new role and responsibilities. And I relish the challenge that is an extension of what I believe a global educator, peace maker and environmental change maker should be.”
