Johanna (AWC The Hague) was born in Japan into a career military family and moved several times during her youth until the family returned home to Texas. She earned a BBA with a concentration in Human Resource Management from the University of Houston-Clear Lake and worked for Fluor Corporation in all aspects of human resources. She eventually managed space utilization and assets of their 3,000,000 square foot campus in Texas. In 1998, she became a trailing spouse with a relocation to Leipzig, Germany, continuing on to Dresden, Germany; Jubail, Saudi Arabia; and Kuwait City, Kuwait. Johanna currently resides with her husband of 30 years, Frank, and youngest daughter, Olivia, in The Netherlands where she has just completed two years as Club President for AWC-The Hague and three years on the Parent Board of the British School in The Netherlands. They have two older daughters and a son-in-law living in Texas.

Johanna: “I am very excited to Chair the new FAWCO Target Program on Human Rights for Women. As the mother of three daughters, I am passionate about protecting the rights and improving the lives of women worldwide. The ultimate goal would be for all women to have the ability to pursue their dreams and the opportunity to choose their path to achieve them.”
