Leslie Adelson Lewin has been a part of the program team at Seeds of Peace for twelve years, never missing a summer at the Seeds of Peace International Camp on Pleasant Lake in Maine.

Following two summers as a counselor, she began full time work for Seeds of Peace, preparing the Camp program and orchestrating all logistics and programming, a role which eventually led to her becoming Camp Director.

As Camp Director, Leslie recruited, hired, and supervised a team of over one hundred people, worked with participating governments to oversee selection of Seeds, and served on the executive management team to direct organizational priorities, including program management and strategic planning.

Leslie is a Term Member of the Council on Foreign Relations. She is involved in Womensphere and is a board member at the Country Roads Foundation.

She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and received a Masters degree in Public Administration and Nonprofit Management & Policy from New York University's Wagner School of Public Service.
