June 2004 Former Council Vice President Remembered W. Parker Mauldin, former Population Council vice president, died on January 16 at the age of 89 in Charlottesville, VA. Calling him “one of the architects of the Population Council,” Council president Linda Martin praised him as “a leading demographer who made original and influential contributions to the evaluation and implementation of family planning programs. Throughout his career, Parker was committed to improving the lives of women and men in the developing world.” Mauldin came to the Council in 1957 as part of the staff of the then Demographic Division. One of his early assignments involved spending a year in India to help establish the first United Nations Demographic Training and Research Centre in Bombay (now Mumbai). He became director of the Council’s Demographic Division in 1967, served as vice president from 1969 to 1974, and was acting president from October 1974 to early 1976. Mauldin left the Council in 1979 but rejoined it as a senior associate and had an adjunct appointment until 1997. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
