Leadership

The Bay Area Global Health Alliance is led by an engaged Board of Directors composed of multi-sector leaders who are all experts in their fields, senior leaders in their organizations, and together bring decades of experience accelerating and scaling new initiatives to improve health outcomes for millions, as well as cutting-edge research, analysis, and field experience tackling some of our most pressing global health challenges. The Secretariat also brings together decades of global health experience in business, nonprofit management, communications, partnership development, and advocacy. The Student Advisory Council (SAC) includes students from Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCSF, and UC Davis and is focused on developing the next generation of global health leaders.
