(November 30, 1925–September 14, 2020)

William H. Gates Sr. was a friend of NBR who played a central leadership role in launching the Pacific Health Summit, a meeting that annually convened 250 top leaders from science, industry, and policy to discuss how to realize the dream of a healthier future. NBR served as Secretariat for the Summit from its inception in 2004 through the concluding meeting in 2012.
