About Me

Rebecca has been with The Glocal Forum teams since April 2007. Ms. Neilson was initially hired to coordinate the health and nutrition projects and was promoted to the position of Director of Human Development and Youth Department in January 2008. In this role she overlooks and manages the health, nutrition and agriculture, and youth programs.
