Carol Bellamy will join World Learning in June after 10 years at UN agency
Carol Bellamy has been named president and CEO of World Learning and president of its School for International Training, Susan B. Plimpton, chair of the Board of Trustees, announced today. Bellamy succeeds James A. Cramer who stepped down in December after six years in the position.
Ms. Bellamy will take up her new post in June when she finishes her work as executive director of UNICEF in New York. She has also served as director of the Peace Corps in Washington, DC, president of the New York City Council, and in several key positions in the private sector.
Ms. Bellamy was also a Peace Corps volunteer in Guatemala.
“I can’t think of a better qualified person to take World Learning, The Experiment in International Living and the School for International Training into the future,” said Susan Plimpton. “Carol brings invaluable experience to our organization, energy and enthusiasm, and an impressive record of achievement in a wide-ranging career in public service.”
Bellamy is leaving her UNICEF post, as required by UN mandate, after serving two five-year terms. Until she takes up the reins in June, Bob Chase is serving as interim World Learning president. Chase is the former head of World Learning’s development and training arm in Washington, DC.
“I am delighted to accept this challenge,” Ms. Bellamy said. “Educational opportunity is something I feel passionately about, and it will be a great honor to lead World Learning toward even greater reach and relevance in today’s interconnected world. It’s a great follow on from my years at UNICEF, during which I saw very clearly how important education is for both individuals and nations.”
Ms. Bellamy will lead an organization whose scope has grown considerably in the 72 years since its founding as The Experiment in International Living, the country’s first exchange program to enlighten US youth about the world’s many and varied cultures.
World Learning today is comprised of four operating divisions: The Experiment in International Living, the School for International Training, World Learning for International Development, and World Learning for Business. In 2004 the organization delivered and maintained 175 programs in 108 countries.

| Ask Not As our country prepares for the inauguration of a President, we remember one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century and how his words inspired us. "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." |
| Latest: RPCVs and Peace Corps provide aid Peace Corps made an appeal last week to all Thailand RPCV's to consider serving again through the Crisis Corps and more than 30 RPCVs have responded so far. RPCVs: Read what an RPCV-led NGO is doing about the crisis an how one RPCV is headed for Sri Lanka to help a nation he grew to love. Question: Is Crisis Corps going to send RPCVs to India, Indonesia and nine other countries that need help? |
| The World's Broken Promise to our Children Former Director Carol Bellamy, now head of Unicef, says that the appalling conditions endured today by half the world's children speak to a broken promise. Too many governments are doing worse than neglecting children -- they are making deliberate, informed choices that hurt children. Read her op-ed and Unicef's report on the State of the World's Children 2005. |
| Our debt to Bill Moyers Former Peace Corps Deputy Director Bill Moyers leaves PBS next week to begin writing his memoir of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Read what Moyers says about journalism under fire, the value of a free press, and the yearning for democracy. "We have got to nurture the spirit of independent journalism in this country," he warns, "or we'll not save capitalism from its own excesses, and we'll not save democracy from its own inertia." |
| Is Gaddi Leaving? Rumors are swirling that Peace Corps Director Vasquez may be leaving the administration. We think Director Vasquez has been doing a good job and if he decides to stay to the end of the administration, he could possibly have the same sort of impact as a Loret Ruppe Miller. If Vasquez has decided to leave, then Bob Taft, Peter McPherson, Chris Shays, or Jody Olsen would be good candidates to run the agency. Latest: For the record, Peace Corps has no comment on the rumors. |
| The Birth of the Peace Corps UMBC's Shriver Center and the Maryland Returned Volunteers hosted Scott Stossel, biographer of Sargent Shriver, who spoke on the Birth of the Peace Corps. This is the second annual Peace Corps History series - last year's speaker was Peace Corps Director Jack Vaughn. |
