Emory Report February 12, 2007 3 emoryprofile chuck Lawe Teresa Maria Rivero joins Board of Trustees Rule of Lawe mory University’s Board of Trustees appointed EEmory alumna Teresa Maria Rivero as a new trustee By Kim Urquhart during the board’s winter meeting Feb. 8. Rivero serves as a program officer in the Washington, D.C., office of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation working in the area of urban education and philanthropy. She previously was a grant officer with the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation in Atlanta. Rivero was elected as an alumni trustee and will serve until 2013. Alumni trustees serve six-year terms and are nominated by the Emory Alumni Board for election by the board of trustees. Elections are then affirmed by the Southeastern Jurisdictional Confer- ence of the United Methodist Church. Rivero joins four other trustees appointed in recent months, including: Ruth J. Katz, an Emory alumna and dean of the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services and the Walter G. Ross Professor of Health Policy; Charles “Pete” McTier, renowned philanthropy director and retired Robert W. Woodruff Foundation president; John G. Rice, Gen- eral Electric vice chairman; and Diane Wilkins Savage, Emory alumna and Stanford University business law professor and attorney. Rivero is a graduate of Emory’s Oxford College and Goizueta Business School, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1987. She also earned a master’s of public health degree from the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory and an MBA from Bryan Meltz Bryan Georgia State University.
