Three New Members Join TSRI Board
At a recent meeting of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI)
Board of Trustees, three new members—Gary N. Coburn,
Thomas E. Dewey, Jr., and Ralph J. Shapiro—were appointed
to the Board.
"Gary Coburn, Thomas Dewey, and Ralph Shapiro possess exceptional
leadership ability, financial expertise, and commitment to
the community," says TSRI President Richard Lerner. "It is
my pleasure to welcome them to our Board."
Coburn (B.A, M.B.A, University of California, Berkeley)
worked at Scudder, Stevens and Clark in San Francisco from
1970 to 1987 before moving to Putnam Investments in Boston,
where he worked from 1987 to 1999. At Putnam, he had overall
responsibility for global fixed income investment policy,
portfolio management, research, derivatives, and trading.
In 1993, he helped develop an asset allocation product, and
the portfolio managers and analysts in that group reported
jointly to him and the head of equities.
Dewey (B.A, Princeton University; M.B.A., Harvard Business
School) is a member of McFarland Dewey & Co., a New York investment
banking firm specializing in advisory and agency services
for corporate and governmental clients. He joined the investment
banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. after graduation in 1958
and was a member of the firm's executive committee when he
retired to form his own firm in 1975. From then until 1989,
he was president of Thomas E. Dewey, Jr. & Co., Inc., a financial
advisory services firm. Dewey's experience covers most phases
of industrial, utility, and transportation corporate finance,
including public offerings, private placements, mergers and
acquisition, consulting studies, and valuation of securities.
He has also been active in the field of public finance, which
encompasses the financing of state and local governments and
government authorities.
Shapiro (B.S., J.D., University of California, Los Angeles
(U.C.L.A.)), a native of Lithuania, is a leader of several
business enterprises. He holds the positions of chair of Avondale
Investment Company, chair of C.N.A. Property Company, and
