Christine Campbell of The Bahamas was selected as the U.S. Department of State’s Alumni Member of the Month for April 2012 in recognition of her advocacy and support of women’s issues as well as her efforts in youth education and empowerment. Campbell participated twice in the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP)–first in 1987 on the topic of drug abuse prevention and education and again in 2001 on the topic of HIV/AIDS prevention and education. Campbell notes one of the key concepts she learned from her exchange programs was the value of networking and the exchange of ideas; adding “I believe education and
knowledge can shape and transform lives and when individuals share their knowledge and experiences with others, it not only improves their own lives but also their communities.” She has continued to use these concepts in the organization of impactful youth programs and women’s workshops and seminars. She currently serves as the government of The Bahamas’ First Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Women’s Affairs in the Ministry of Social Services and Community Development.
