U.S. Embassy welcomes new Public Affairs Officer, Pam DeVolder

Mr Olson said the embassy’s Public Diplomacy Section played a vital role in its engagement with Ghana, overseeing press outreach, cultural programming, educational exchanges, alumni engagement and digital communications.

Mr Olson noted that Ghana’s vibrant media landscape, dynamic civil society and rich cultural heritage make it an important environment for public diplomacy, adding that he was confident Ms DeVolder would build on the strong foundation laid by her predecessors.

He also commended Press Attaché Matthew Asada and Cultural Affairs Attaché Donyá Eldridge for their leadership as acting section chiefs over the past year, and praised the wider Public Diplomacy team for its work in deepening relations between the two countries.
