Washington, DC—On March 12, 2014, Kristina Koch, Chief of Recruitment Section of the UN Department of Field Support/Field Personnel Division, and Catherine Sung, Project Manager of the UN Talent Pipeline Initiative, briefed WFPG members and guests on the UN Talent Pipeline Initiative.

The discussion was moderated by WFPG President Patricia Ellis. Read more
