On October 30, 2001, FFE Board members Mary Dorman, Joan Kennedy Taylor, Candida Royalle and Cassandra Abodeely met with a delegation of women journalists from Haiti at the invitation of U.S. Department of State's Office of International Visitors.

The Haitian group, here for ten days to meet and network with other women journalists, academics, schools of journalism and women's press organizations, had specifically requested meeting with representatives of FFE.
