Michael Forhan, M.Ed.
Mr. Forhan spent much of his life in the international arena, and specifically in Rangoon, Burma from 1994 to 1997 where he successfully established two companies.
In the summer of 1998, Mr. Forhan traveled to the Thai-Burma border where he met Dr. Cynthia Maung for the first time and secured her permission to feature her in a documentary film. This film project continues today, has expanded in its scope, and involves the work of Emmy and Academy Award winning documentary producers. Meeting Dr. Cynthia, coupled with his growing awareness of the countless needs of the Burmese refugees and migrant workers living along the Thai-Burma border, inspired Mr. Forhan, along with several Boston-area trauma therapists, to establish Burma Border Projects, Inc. as a tax-exempt, charitable foundation in May, 2000.
As well as assuming the role of Executive Director of BBP, Mr. Forhan was Director of Special Projects in the Northeast and in Asia for NASA’s Center for Technology Commercialization in Westborough, MA. He serves part-time as Director of Corporate Development for Passports, Inc., a Massachusetts-based international educational travel company.
