USCIB would like to announce two new staff members and one who has moved up from part-time to full-time status.
 
We are pleased to welcome Nancy Thevenin as Deputy Director of Arbitration and ADR in North America for the ICC International Court of Arbitration.  Nancy joins us from the law firm of Astigarraga Davis Mullins & Grossman, P.A., in Miami, where she practiced international commercial litigation and arbitration.  Originally from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Nancy grew up in New York City and obtained her undergraduate degree from Cornell University.  She received her law degree from Tulane University, graduating with a concentration in European Legal Practice.
 
We also welcome the newest addition to our Policy & Program Department, Kimberly Halamar, Manager for European Union, China and Economies in Transition.  Prior to joining USCIB, Kimberly was an economic researcher for Jetro (the Japan External Trade Organization) in New York.  She holds a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Columbia University, and a master’s degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, where she studied for a year in Bologna, Italy.
 
Finally, we’re delighted that Kate Stout, who has served as a part-time receptionist in USCIB’s New York headquarters while finishing up her bachelor’s degree in Anthropology at New York University, will come on board full-time as Membership Assistant after her May graduation.
