Women in Nuclear Korea announced Monday that its current president, Park Se-moon, has been named the sixth incoming president of the organization’s global office.

This will be the first time a Korean will head Women in Nuclear Global, or WiN Global, a non-profit organization that supports and encourages females working in the world’s nuclear industries. Park will also be the second Asian to head the association, following a four-year tenure by WiN Global’s fourth president, Junko Ogawa.
