In May 2019, Nidhi Goyal took on the role of the AWID board President after supporting the work of the organisation as a board member, and a member of the International Planning Committee of the 13th International AWID Forum.
She took over from Charlotte Bunch who had served as board President for two and a half years.
“As I write this, I am preparing to take on the role of the board president at AWID, I believe that I am probably the youngest and the first disabled president the organization has appointed.”
