She is a 2022 graduate of the International Peace and conflict resolution program of the School of International Service at the American University in D.C. Earliest influences came from her parents, who are both clergy, and that early influence convinced her that development can only happen in an environment where there is peace. Mediation came easily to her and that encouraged the trajectory of her career choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She had an exciting career as a lawyer and ran a thriving local NGO that sought to impact the lives of the less privileged at the grassroots. Chidoka is looking forward to engaging constructively in conversations that will influence policy and legislation affecting people whose lives are disrupted by conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find more Church of the Brethren news:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts is-layout-flow wp-block-latest-posts-is-layout-flow\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/discernment-and-calling-an-appeal\/\">Discernment and calling: An appeal for nominations for the Annual Conference ballot<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/disenman-ak-apel-yon-apel\/\">Dis\u00e8nman ak ap\u00e8l: Yon ap\u00e8l pou nominasyon pou bilten v\u00f2t Konferans Any\u00e8l la<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/discernimiento-y-vocacion-convocatoria\/\">Discernimiento y vocaci\u00f3n: Convocatoria para la presentaci\u00f3n de candidaturas para la votaci\u00f3n de la Conferencia Anual.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/help-shape-intergenerational-resources\/\">Help shape resources for intergenerational ministry: An invitation from Brethren Press<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/ayude-a-dar-forma-a-los-recursos\/\">Ayude a dar forma a los recursos para el ministerio intergeneracional: Una invitaci\u00f3n de Brethren Press.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chidinma (Chidi) Chidoka has begun as a fellow at the Church of the Brethren\u2019s Office of Peacebuilding and Policy in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1703],"tags":[3,1340,1774],"wf_post_folders":[],"class_list":["post-20690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-church-of-the-brethren-newsline","tag-church-of-the-brethren","tag-office-of-peacebuilding-and-policy","tag-personnel"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20690"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20690\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20691,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20690\/revisions\/20691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20690"},{"taxonomy":"wf_post_folders","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wf_post_folders?post=20690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
