November 2007 Meeting

The J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB) held its fourth quarterly meeting in November 2007 in Washington, DC. Members of the Board attended the opening event of the Fulbright Association annual conference, hosted at the residence of the Ambassador of Colombia to the United States; the Association was observing its thirtieth anniversary. The FSB members met many U.S. alumni and others associated with the Fulbright Program at the reception. Also at the November meeting, the election of FSB officers took place; Ms. Shirley M. Green was elected Chair and Mr. Yousif B. Ghafari was elected Vice Chair. Ms. Green commended her predecessor, Steven J. Uhlfelder for his many contributions to the Board, noting how active he had been and how important innovations were made under his leadership. In addition to hearing Fulbright reports on the Western Hemisphere, Africa and the Middle East, the Board also welcomed Dr. Sabine O'Hara, who had been appointed Executive Director of the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) earlier in the year.
