Pratham USA is pleased to announce two key leadership appointments.

National Board Director and Seattle Chapter Chairman Pradeep Singh has been appointed vice-chairman of the board and chair of the marketing committee. In this role, Pradeep will be responsible for the strategic direction and operations of our digital marketing efforts.

Pradeep has agreed to lend his support at a critical time. His experience and expertise in the technology and marketing sectors will allow us to navigate this moment with a focus on diversifying revenue streams.

“The process of providing learning remotely has created an unusual opportunity for donors,” Pradeep explains. “They can now engage with children in a community of their choice. I am excited to be part of this effort.” You can read his full bio here.

In addition, Houston Chapter President Dhiren Shethia has been elected to the Pratham USA national board.

Dhiren, whose family has been involved with Pratham for over fifteen years, is impressed by Pratham’s “unique evidence-based approach that addresses literacy- and education-related challenges that are massive in scale” and sees his appointment as an “opportunity to be a greater part of the journey and influence the future of Pratham.” You can read his full bio here.
