Theo was approached to step in as Interim CEO, to provide a safe pair of hands for the organisation while the Board found the new substantive CEO. Theo did a sterling job of handling the transition for AWDF and her quiet, inclusive, yet firm leadership meant that many stakeholders did not even notice the transition taking place. Having started the Executive search, it became clear very quickly to the Board that the best person for the post was Theo and that confirming her in post would allow also for consistency, continuity and the grounding of some of the adapted systems she has introduced. I am sure you will join with the Board and staff of AWDF in our pleasure at this development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.africlub.net\/awdf\/browse\/2495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To read the full press please click here<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2501\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2501\" style=\"width: 591px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2501\" title=\"Theo Sowa (small)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.africlub.net\/awdf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Theo-Sowa-small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"591\" height=\"886\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2501\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Theo Sowa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Executive Board of the African Women&#8217;s Development Fund is pleased to announce that Theo Sowa has agreed to be confirmed in post as AWDF\u2019s CEO.
