About Ishrat Jahan
An accomplished leader with over 13 years of experience in nonprofit international program development and management, I\'ve lived in India for seven years where I provided professional leadership, training, operational success, strategic solutions, and expertise in educational services to the U.S. Department of State, implementing partners, foreign governments, and U.S. embassies in 11 countries across South and Central Asia. I also lived in Bangladesh, where I served at the U.S. Embassy establishing an educational services program across the country. Before joining Nomi Network, I served as a solution and strategies professional for educational institutions across North America, supporting student mobility, collaborations, and partnerships between international entities. Through my work abroad, I developed personal and professional projects to be of service to those with limited resources and access. I collaborated with the U.S. Department of State to support youth from vulnerable communities in South Asia with an Opportunity Grant to open pathways to access higher education. At Nomi Network, I merged my passion for service with experience in program management as the Director of International Programs overseeing Nomi Network’s Workforce Development Program and Adolescent Girls Empowerment Program across India and Cambodia. I am a founding dance director and current board member of an arts and entertainment company focused on community and social service in New York. My free time is spent with her daughter and husband taking advantage of living in New York City by exploring restaurants and new cuisines.
