We are committed, energetic and passionate about creating positive global change. Initiating new ideas and putting them into action, we will lead bold, innovative and meaningful events to increase awareness and engage a wide range of people while keeping Dorothy[1] in mind. We understand the importance of feedback to fuel our learning as individuals and as a team - we are always open to improve in our pursuit of excellence. As a team, we will be accountable to ourselves and other members to create a unique, inclusive and supportive chapter.
1. Dorothy is no single person; she is the archetype for whom EWB does everything we do - Dorothy is the mother pounding fufu in Cameroon, the woman selling oranges on the street of Accra and tending to her kids in Tanzania
