Vienna, VA (PRWEB) June 25, 2014 -- Ms. Elston comes with a wealth of experience in programs and operations oversight, having spent more than ten years in non-profit programs and operations oversight. She most recently worked in a DC-area international peace and diplomacy NGO, where she was instrumental in creating a new operating framework and enhancing staff development. Previously, Malala led the implementation and growth of complex public private partnerships at the California Hispanic Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, where she implemented the California Crime Prevention and Drug Reform Act Program across Los Angeles County.
