In November 2026, as part of the Fulbright Program, with a focus on strengthening the capacity of NGOs through best practices from the United States, Karin Dom will welcome Julie Hall Williams, a business administration specialist with 20 years of experience in organizational capacity building and her own consulting practice.
Julie currently specializes in exploring local contexts in different countries in order to adapt best practices in leadership and fundraising to local needs and realities.
The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s leading international educational exchange program, designed to build lasting connections between the United States and other countries. Julie Williams is one of more than 400 American citizens who share their expertise with institutions abroad through the program each year.
Fulbright sends U.S. academics, administrative specialists, and professionals from a wide range of fields to serve as short-term experts at institutions around the world. They address critical global issues while building relationships, sharing expertise, and developing leadership. Specialists are selected based on their academic and professional achievements, demonstrated leadership in their field, and potential to foster long-term collaboration between institutions in the United States and abroad.
For 80 years, the Fulbright Program has given more than 400,000 exceptional Americans and participants from 160 countries opportunities to study, teach, conduct cutting-edge research, advance critical industries, and develop solutions to shared international concerns.
Fulbright alumni have achieved distinction in many fields, including 60 Nobel laureates, 93 Pulitzer Prize winners, 83 MacArthur fellows, 46 heads of state or government, and countless leaders in all sectors and industries across the United States and around the world.
During her two-week visit, Julie will work with the Karin Dom team on topics including fundraising, philanthropy, CSR and partnerships, as well as organizational development and sustainability.
