About the event
Estimates of USAID employees, contractors, and implementing partner staff members who have lost their jobs now stretch into the thousands. For everyone, it’s been an incredible shock and few people have a backup plan when their entire sector is in the same boat.
What should you do right now? And how can you begin to come to terms with this new reality?
To help our community think through these questions, Devex is convening a career emergency webinar. This event is entirely free and available to all but especially targeted to those who have been directly affected.
You’ll hear from a panel of leaders and experts who will do their best to provide context and answer questions.
Join Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar in conversation with leaders including:
Gayle Smith, former USAID administrator.
Fatema Sumar, director of the Harvard Center for International Development.
Joel S. Hellman, dean of the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.
Zaid A. Zaid, head of U.S. Public Policy at Cloudfare.
Scott Beale, executive coach and former Head of Global Operations at Peace Corps.
Kate Warren, Devex Executive Vice President & Executive Editor.
Matthias Berninger, EVP Public Affairs, Science, Sustainability & HSE at Bayer.
We encourage you to submit your questions for our expert panel during registration to ensure we address what matters most to you.
