Joint Statement
By: The Board of Directors of the International Institute of Buffalo and Eva Hassett, former Executive Director
10/7/2021
Over the past 12 years, because of Eva Hassett’s work as executive director of the International Institute, our programming has expanded, our finances have strengthened, collaboration with partners and peers has deepened and become more strategic, and thousands of vulnerable foreign born and survivor clients were served. Buffalo’s immigrant communities, and Buffalo itself, have grown over the last decade as a result of the Institute’s work and Eva’s leadership.
As Eva moves forward to pursue new opportunities, the organization and the Institute’s Board wish her well, and Eva wishes the Board, staff and clients the same.
