Event Description
Arkansas Engineers Abroad will be hosting a guest speaker Ken Patterson, Chair of Hunger Relief International, on Wednesday February 13th at 6:30 in Bell 2286.
“Ken has been developing and directing international development projects since 1997. For ten years of his career, Ken worked with the International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC), designing and developing projects in South Asia, West and Central Africa, the Middle East and the Balkans. Much of his work has focused on creating projects that respond to refugee and forced migration crises caused by war or internal political strife, such as Legal Protection and Refugee Camp Management. Ken also designed and directed several Business Development and Micro Finance projects, as well as the IARS Project, the first comprehensive anti-trafficking project in the Balkans. He wrapped up his time with ICMC as Director of Global Operations in the Geneva Headquarters.
Since then, he has served as Chairperson for KEP, a major micro finance institution in Kosovo, as well as Team Leader for development of the Balkan Investment Fund. In addition, Ken has recently finalized a formal MOU between the cities of Fayetteville, Arkansas and Korce, Albania for the transfer of agriculture technologies and agri-business development. Ken received his Jurist Doctorate from the University of Arkansas in 1993 and began his international career as a teacher in Japan (JET Program).”
