The Board of Directors of the Climate Institute has elected Mark A. Goldberg to serve as the Institute’s Chairman. He succeeds William A. Nitze, who had been Chairman since November, 2002.
Goldberg is the Executive Vice President of the National Coalition on Health Care, a non-partisan alliance of businesses, unions, associations of physicians and other providers, patient advocacy groups, pension funds, and other organizations working for system-wide health care reform. He was formerly the Lester Crown Visiting Professor of Management and a Distinguished Faculty Fellow at the Yale School of Management, where he taught courses on health care policy, business strategy, and entrepreneurship in the non-profit sector. He previously served as a member of the White House staff, Editor and Publisher of the Brookings Review at the Brookings Institution, and Publisher of the McKinsey Quarterly at McKinsey & Company. His articles on health care policy, regulation, and other issues have appeared in a variety of publications, including the New England Journal of Medicine, Health Affairs, the Yale Law Journal, the Yale Journal on Regulation, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal.
In announcing the appointment, John C. Topping, Jr., the Institute’s President, said, “Mark helped me found the Climate Institute and has been a source of wise counsel these many years. His experience and insights – regarding strategy, policy analysis, and communications – will be enormously valuable as the Institute works to build public awareness and engagement and to strengthen connections among science, policy, and action. The Board and staff are delighted that Mark has become our Chairman.”
