Hanna Kebbede is a consummate professional who helped design, implement and report on a series of colloquia conducted by the Africa-America Institute (AAI) in Ghana and Namibia. Her focus, insight and talents were instrumental in the success of an international effort undertaken by the AAI to marshal the support of our 20,000 alumni in human resources development projects. Hanna’s work helped AAI directors identify areas of collaboration, while suggesting strategies for engaging leaders from the education, science, political, and economic sectors.

My experience working with Hanna extends to a period at Northern Virginia Community College, where my colleagues and I benefitted from her content architecture and training expertise. As a manager in the College’s Workforce Development Office/Continuing Education Office, Hanna successfully planned, designed and marketed programs in support of our mandate to meet local demands for professional development courses and workshops.

As AAI’s consultant in 2004, Ms. Hanna Kebbede served as rapporteur, content developer and author of AAI’s report to USAID on African Technology for Education and Workforce Development Initiative (AFTECH). Her vision was instrumental in shaping the course of the final report.
Ms. Kebbede was a key member of the five-person planning team who worked on AAI’s AFTECH initiative and international conferences in Ghana and Namibia. Her input was substantive and her previous experience was invaluable in driving the conference’s content.
