UID Welcomes Its New President in Indonesia!

Rosihan Arsyad has recently joined the United in Diversity Forum (UID) as its President in Indonesia. In this capacity, he will lead an effort to enhance the Forum’s network of constituencies across business, government and civil society sectors, provide guidance on its programs, as well as to help strengthen its mission and works in Indonesia.

Before joining UID, Mr. Rosihan Arsyad had held numerous senior positions. Most notably, he served as the Governor of South Sumatra Province, Indonesia, from 1998 to 2003. Widely respected for his integrity and courageous performances during Indonesian crisis periods as well as external ones, his management of the Silkair flight crash in South Sumatra in 1997 earned him great appreciation from the Singapore Government.

A retired admiral, he has held senior positions in the Indonesian Navy and served in numerous duty missions in Indonesia and abroad. He also served many years as a pilot in the Indonesian Navy after his graduation from the US navy flight training in Pensacola and successfully commanded a tank-landing ship--the Kri Teluk Semangka--on various missions.

Mr. Rosihan Arsyad received his education from the Indonesian Naval Academy and National Resilience Institute. A recipient of numerous awards and service medals, he has attended and spoken at many conferences. Mr. Rosihan Arsyad is married to Mrs. Rachma Arsyad, and they have three children.
