01/18/12 – The Colorado Trust Welcomes Gwyn Barley
by Ned Calonge, MDPresident & CEO, The Colorado Trust
I am pleased to announce Gwyn Barley, PhD, as the new Director of Programs for The Colorado Trust. Gwyn joins Gay Cook, the Vice President for Programs and Strategy, and our four program officers in the Program Department. Gwyn is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Program Department's grantmaking, grants management and policy-related activities to advance The Colorado Trust's vision to achieve access to health for all Coloradans.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with Gwyn once again. Our early careers overlapped when we both worked for the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Her work there was impressive. She achieved great results by bringing together diverse experts and communities to develop and implement large and complex programs.
Gwyn has spent a majority of her career at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Beginning in 1998, she served as the Founding Director of the Center for Advancing Professional Excellence at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, a nationally recognized model for innovation in program-specific and inter-professional education and assessment. She also launched the Department of Medicine's Student Affairs Office, the Foundations of Doctoring Curriculum and the CU Center for Healthy Living at Stapleton. She is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics and the Graduate School.
Gwyn received her BA in Sociology from the University of California Santa Cruz. She has her MPL from the School of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Southern California Los Angeles and a PhD from The Heller School for Advanced Studies in Social Welfare at Brandeis University.
The Colorado Trust is certainly lucky to gain her skills and expertise, as is, in my opinion, the broader foundation arena.
