Ms. Lamb is well-versed on the challenges international schools and associations face. In addition to her overseas school experiences, she attributes much of what she has learned about the international education community to her active involvement, over the years, on the boards of the European Council of International Schools, Mediterranean Association of International Schools, Association of American Schools in South America, Academy of International School Heads, and most recently, to her terms as AAIE board president. She looks forward to continuing her work in international education in her new role as AAIE executive director, a position she assumes full-time as of July 2008.
