October 2003  

Prominent attorney Mark A. Walker and finance expert Robert B. Millard have been elected to the Population Council’s board of trustees. Millard previously served as a trustee from 1993 to 2002. The board now includes 17 men and women from nine countries—Ethiopia, Germany, India, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Mexico, Sweden, and the United States.

“It is an honor to have Mark Walker on our board and to welcome Bob Millard as a returning member,” said Council president Linda G. Martin. “Mark and Bob share with other members of the board a commitment to excellence and objectivity in furthering the Population Council’s research in order to help developing countries address the critical population issues they face.”

A partner in the law firm of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen, and Hamilton since 1975, Walker advises the governments of Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, and other countries on debt management and infrastructure finance. He also has advised private-sector debtors and creditors in negotiating complex international restructurings. He holds an LL.B. degree from Yale Law School. 

Millard, managing director of the investment banking firm Lehman Brothers since 1983, has expertise in world financial markets. He heads Lehman Brothers' Trading & Investments Group and the Merchant Banking Group and has served on several nonprofit boards, including those of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and New School University. Millard holds an M.B.A. from Harvard University.
