We are pleased to welcome Ömer Önder as the new Executive Director of Peace Islands Institute Pennsylvania.
Omer brings experience in nonprofit leadership, community engagement, and product management, along with a deep commitment to fostering dialogue and building meaningful connections across diverse communities. We are excited to work together as we continue our mission of promoting understanding, collaboration, and civic engagement throughout Pennsylvania.
We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to our outgoing Executive Director, Muhammed Said Selmanlar, for his dedication, leadership, and the strong foundation he has built for our organization. His contributions have helped shape Peace Islands Institute Pennsylvania, and we wish him continued success in her next chapter.
Please join us in welcoming Omer to the team as we look forward to the opportunities ahead.
