What they’re saying about Heather Gerken, incoming president of the Ford Foundation
Fatima Goss Graves, president and ceo of the National Women’s Law Center, said, “In Heather Gerken, the Ford Foundation has found a creative, bold, and clear-eyed leader ready to take on the challenges of these unprecedented times. She is one of the country’s foremost experts on democratic norms and the rule of law, as well as a champion for civil society and the rights and freedoms that are intertwined and foundational to democracy. Her creation of the Tsai Leadership Program at Yale Law School is a prime example of her long-term strategic thinking to equip not only the next generation of lawyers, but the next generation of civic leaders.
