Iranian American Women Receive Women’s Global Leadership Award
The Institute of International Education (IIE) is a non-profit organization and the world’s largest and most experienced international education training organization. The mission of the IIE is to promote closer educational relations between the people of the U.S. and other countries, advance academic freedom, build leadership skills and enhance the capacity of organizations and individuals to address challenges.
The institute presented the IIE Women’s Global Learning Award to Laya Khadjavi, Roya Khadjavi-Heidari, and Nazgol Saati for the many ways in which they and their philanthropy have helped to involve the Iranian community in the U.S. in improving cultural and educational relations between Iran and the United States. The Iran Opportunities Fund, established by these three remarkable women alongside IIE Trustee Maryam Parnahy Ansary, is a unique public-private partnership dedicated to fostering mutual understanding between the U.S. and Iran through international exchange.
