I am so appreciative of Rae's leadership and guidance over the last two years! I am honored to work with such a wonderful and dedicated team at NOD providing educational opportunities that promote intercultural understanding.
Nacel Open Door congratulates Rae Lenway, Ed.D. as she transitions from President to a President Emeritus role! Rae began her career at Nacel Open Door over 27 years ago, and served in a variety of strategic positions that culminated as the organization’s President. We are grateful for her innumerable contributions to the organization, our students, families and the international education field. Shannon Thompson has assumed the role of President and brings with her decades of nonprofit management experience that she is excited to leverage as Nacel Open Door strives to open minds, broaden perspectives and create lifelong international connections.
