epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of HIV and tuberculosis.
Anna Glasier is director of Family Planning and Well Woman

“Wafaa El-Sadr, Anna Glasier, and Anne Pebley are all accomplished,
committed, and richly experienced professionals,” says Council President
Peter J. Donaldson. “Particularly important at this stage in the
Council’s evolution, each has a deep, substantive knowledge of our work
and its relevance to real-world issues. We are very grateful that they
are lending the Council their experience and expertise.”
The trustees also appointed Lauren Meserve to the Investment Committee.
