She will continue in her role as Managing Director of the Peace and Security Funders Group, supporting donors who make investments in peacebuilding and conflict prevention worldwide. Cath founded and directed PeaceMeals (www.peace-meals.com), a program that facilitates support and wellness education for individuals in the aftermath of trauma or difficult seasons of life via cooking classes, targeted nutrition, and a shared table. Cath conducted PeaceMeals in conflict and post-conflict zones including Iraq and Northern Ireland, and for her work she was awarded the Andi Foundation's prize for "Ordinary Women Doing Extraordinary Things."
