Pamela Tripp-Melby

Though our long-time supporter Pamela Tripp Melby is the newest member of our Board of Directors she hit the ground running to spearhead fundraising and an event to celebrate Lubuto's 15th anniversary along with director Sally Sinn. The original plan was, of course, to have an in-person event in Washington, DC, but the novel coronavirus changed all that, and necessitated an immediate pivot to virtual event planning. Whether that was outside of the comfort zone of the former head of the National Library of Education and Chief of the IMF's Information Services Division we don't know, as she joined Sally in pushing onward with dedication and great enthusiasm for Lubuto's work and mission - but maybe her Peace Corps volunteer background set her in this direction. The event is still ahead of us (on September 19, 2020) but right now we want to step back and recognize Pamela as Lubuto's Volunteer of the Month.
