Talk:List of ambassadors of the United States to India

Friday Dec. 16 -- news sent to IOWA "home newspaper" of new AMBASSADOR
Hi! I'm a WIKI contributor of quite minor info I happened across -- apparently there is a shake-up from the June 2011 - Dec. 15 named Ambassador -- here's the www.desmoinesregister.com (IOWA state capital) article: A native of Cedar Rapids who is a veteran foreign service officer has been nominated by President Barack Obama to become ambassador to India.

Nancy J. Powell, who joined the foreign service in 1977 after teaching school in Dayton, Ia., has previously served as ambassador to Nepal, Pakistan, Ghana and Uganda. She’s currently serving as director general of the foreign service and director of human resources at the State Department. She has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Northern Iowa.

Obama's diplomatic corps. Timothyjshaw (talk)timothyjshaw —Preceding undated comment added 02:40, 17 December 2011 (UTC).
