Former EPA Head to Serve as Institute’s Senior Adviser

Duke President Richard Brodhead also announced that William K. Reilly, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency administrator under 41st President George H.W. Bush and currently president and CEO of Aqua International Partners, has agreed to serve as senior adviser and chair of the board of advisers for the Nicholas Institute. Reilly also chairs the World Wildlife Fund board and is a trustee of the National Geographic Society and The Packard Foundation, among other positions.

Brodhead said the Nicholas Institute Board will be created to bring leaders and experts from industry, government, foundations, nongovernmental organizations and other groups from across the globe to help its policy, research, outreach and advocacy missions.

“Bill Reilly is recognized as one of the best-informed and most creative leaders associated with environmental issues,” Brodhead said. “His career has been aimed at identifying environmental solutions. He will be a strong chair of the Nicholas Institute board and, with Tim Profeta, gives the institute unparalleled leadership.”

Said Reilly, “At a time of planetwide environmental transformation, the Nicholas Institute will not lament the problems but will hone in on solutions. And I look forward to helping it find them.”
