LAUREN YVONNE PANGELINAN
SAIPAN
Summary
The basis of my professional background is established from business possession, experience in the private sector concentrated on tourism and organizing higher education programs between the College of Micronesia and the Universities of Hawaii, Guam, Fiji School of Medicine, and Republic of the Marshall Islands College. This foundation was reinforced by my involvement in the Rotary Club of Truk Lagoon, a voting member of the Chuuk Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the FSM National Women’s Council. Establishing connections, mediating, and linking people, companies, and foreign representatives with one another in the Asia-Pacific Rim provided me with different perspectives suited for a leadership role in any setting.
