Thanks to Our Outgoing Board Members

Keiran and her husband, Frank, have been host parents to Ifeanyi since 2019. This year, we all watched with pride as Iffy began his graduate school journey at Duke University. The way Keiran has loved Iffy is a huge reason for his successes today, and her love for A2S as a board member has created all sorts of excitement for our programs.

Jason and his wife, Megan, have protected our A2S trademarks for years. During his service on the board, Jason brought a vital legal perspective to our risk management strategy. This summer, he and Megan took the leap to see A2S in action in Nigeria. I wish you all could have seen how our scholars and entrepreneurs soaked up their sessions on branding and intellectual property. We are so blessed to have had them both on our board the last three years!
