“Based on his broad experience in refugee protection and resettlement at other leading agencies, we brought Mr. Grungras on to take key roles on several projects for ICMC Headquarters and our TuMe [Turkey & Middle East] representative office. Among these projects were government funding applications, contracts with other agencies, codes of conduct, internal guidelines and policies, real estate rental transactions and a cross-office risk assessment. These projects summoned his operational and managerial know-how and his legal expertise. He carried out the projects he took on with professionalism, commitment, loyalty and timeliness.”

“Neil was assigned to direct two HIAS country operations that had come under significant strain, both programmatically and administratively. Working closely with HIAS Headquarters, he re-engineered both offices from the ground up in short periods of time. In one case, he collaborated closely with the U.S. Department of State official overseeing the operation. In the other, he worked in tandem with local government and UNHCR officials to implement fundamental changes to the country’s asylum and refugee system. By the time he left HIAS, Neil had fully restored both operations.”

We hear a constant refrain from our clients: How are we expected to handle the ever-increasing number of refugee cases with a budget that hasn’t kept pace? That’s where we come in.
