Media Advisory

On May 1-2, Deputy Administrator Isobel Coleman will travel to Miami, Florida to attend Florida International University’s (FIU) Hemispheric Security Conference and continue to build on the USAID-FIU partnership, which was formalized in a Memorandum of Understanding under USAID’s Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Initiative last year. 

The annual Hemispheric Security Conference is an opportunity for experts and thought leaders to examine the most pressing security challenges facing the Western Hemisphere. At the conference, Deputy Administrator Coleman will join a fireside chat moderated by FIU’s first recipient of the Donald M. Payne International Development Fellowship Program, Pierina Anton Lopez.

While in Miami, Deputy Administrator Coleman will meet with U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) Military Deputy Commander Vice Admiral Alvin Holsey; discuss USAID priorities at a World Affairs Council-Miami event; and tour the USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance prepositioning warehouse.
