Marks and the other directors will each begin a three-year term immediately after the GIH Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy in March 2016.
“I’m excited for the unique opportunity to be a part of an organization well known for its focus on collaboration and innovation,” Marks said. “From advancing children’s health to shaping foundation roles in health policy change, GIH is increasing the effectiveness of grantmaking in improving the health of all people.”
