Last week, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom
announced the appointment of Erin D. Singshinsuk as its Acting Executive Director while it searches for a person to fill that position on a permanent basis. The new appointee has been affiliated with several organizations having an international focus including the U.S. Institute for Peace where she served as the Vice President for Management and CFO. Singshinsuk replaces Jackie Wolcott, the previous executive director, who was appointed to be a member of the Commission in March. (See
