A warm welcome to Salma Tuqan to CIMAM!
"I have followed CIMAM’s work closely over the years, admiring its commitment to strengthening the sector through meaningful dialogue across geographies, advocacy of ethics, transparency and change.
Much of my career working in and with institutions of different scales has been centred around creating support structures and building relationships of reciprocity across geographies and industries.
I am excited to be part of this expanding network of allyship and solidarity, and welcome the opportunity for shared learning, building towards a more collective and generous sector."
