Kadian Pow, Crisis in Darfur
 Kadian Pow is the program officer for the Committee on Conscience at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, where she works to create and encourage a community of conscience invested in preventing and stopping genocide. Previously, she served as the coordinator of Leadership Programs in the Museum’s Division of Education for which she had been developing strategic partnerships and a national youth leadership initiative. In this capacity, Ms. Pow convened a summit on youth and civic responsibility in 2006 that included nearly 30 grassroots, national, and international youth development organizations.
Ms. Pow will talk about the Committee on Conscience’s work to educate people about genocide and stimulate them toward action. She will also discuss the context and background of the crisis in Darfur and what the Museum has done to bring attention to it and the Museum’s larger genocide prevention efforts. In that context, she will touch briefly on the history of the Committee on Conscience as it is situated within the Museum and highlight some of the groundbreaking work it has done in the past.
