The Washington Global Health Alliance has appointed Dena Morris as its new president and CEO, it announced on Thursday, ending a three-month search to replace founding director Lisa Cohen, who had run the organization for a decade.
Based in the global health hub of Seattle, Washington, the WGHA convenes stakeholders to work in partnership.
Morris, former director of the Washington, D.C., office of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will start her new role on Monday.
