Board of Trustees

Our Board of Trustees is comprised of individuals committed to science and paleoanthropology and they govern the activities of the Foundation. Members of the Board reside around the world but come together three times annually to discuss scientific developments and review business matters.

Scientific Executive Committee

At the heart of the Foundation's scientific direction is the Scientific Executive Committee (SEC). Outstanding paleoanthropologists, archaeologists, primatologists, geologists and leaders in other related fields serve on the SEC on a volunteer basis. These scientists review all grant applications and outside peer reviews to provide the Board of Trustees with recommendations for grant awards. Currently, the Leakey Foundation SEC is comprised of eight scientists in the top of their field.
