International Society of Diplomats Strengthens Leadership in Australia and Oceania

The International Society of Diplomats (ISD) has recently announced the appointment of two highly respected figures to senior leadership roles within the Australia and Oceanic region, marking a significant step in its mission to promote international diplomacy and peacebuilding. Amb. David Sedgwick Lobel-Mandrake has been named Deputy Secretary General for Australia and the Oceanic Region, while Amb. Dr. Lana Monica Lubimoff has been appointed as Country Director for Australia. These strategic appointments are poised to amplify ISD's influence and operational capacity in addressing some of the most pressing challenges in the region.

Amb. Lobel-Mandrake's role as Deputy Secretary General will involve the establishment of ISD's Regional Headquarters and the cultivation of vital relationships with governments, embassies, consulates, and international agencies. Over his two-year term, his focus will be on advocating for diplomatic ethics, social justice, and peacebuilding, alongside tackling issues in foreign policy, security, health, technology transfer, and sustainable development. His extensive background, including serving as General Counsel for The Guardian Alliance of Washington DC and his role as a Global Peace Ambassador with the Institute of Economics and Peace, brings a depth of experience to ISD's initiatives in the region.

Similarly, Amb. Dr. Lubimoff's appointment as Country Director for Australia underscores ISD's commitment to leveraging diverse expertise in its leadership. With over thirty years of experience in psychiatry and a notable career in both public hospitals and private practice, Dr. Lubimoff's unique perspective will be invaluable in overseeing ISD's operations in Australia. Her responsibilities include setting up ISD's offices, engaging with foreign affairs ministries, and supporting global initiatives focused on education, food security, environmental protection, and gender equality.

Both appointees also serve as NGO Delegates for an international charitable organization, contributing to high-level United Nations meetings and the shaping of global policies. Their leadership is expected to significantly enhance ISD's contributions to international development and diplomacy in the Australia and Oceanic region, reinforcing the organization's global mission to foster peace, justice, and sustainability.

The International Society of Diplomats continues to expand its global footprint, with these appointments in Australia and Oceania highlighting its dedication to addressing complex international challenges through diplomacy and collaboration. The expertise and leadership of Amb. Lobel-Mandrake and Amb. Dr. Lubimoff are anticipated to drive meaningful progress in ISD's efforts, making a lasting impact on both regional and global stages.
