AI-USA News: Departure of Steve Hawkins, Executive Director
We
would like to inform our Amnesty International Madison Group #139
members that Steve Hawkins, JD, Executive Director of AIUSA, has left
the organization. The reason for his parting has not been released due
to confidentiality of the issues that led to his departure. We are proud of the steady progress that has been achieved under Steve’s leadership during his tenure at AI-USA for nearly two and half years. We wish him success for his next human rights endeavors in upholding human rights justice.
FYI,
Ms. Margaret Huang, the AI-USA Chief of Staff, is stepping into the
role of Interim Executive Director. Last night (Dec. 8, 2015) several
members of our AI-139 Group participated in a conference call with Ms.
Ann Burroughs, Chair of AIUSA Board of Directors. Ms. Margaret Huang,
was introduced as the new Interim Executive Director and she responded
to several questions/concerns raised by the members. Mr. Aniket Shah,
AIUSA Treasurer and Chair of Finance Committee gave a brief report. The
financial picture for AIUSA is sound and membership continues to grow
slowly. We will continue to send you updates regarding the transition of
leadership at AIUSA as we receive them.
