She responsible for advancing efforts to prove the efficacy and safety of AIP’s solution to preserve and restore Arctic ice to slow climate change and extend the window of opportunity to preserve the Earth’s environments and ecosystems. Under her direction, the team will expand research partnerships, increase funding and establish international policy and governance for the adoption of AIP’s proven methods at scale by local communities, governments, and global institutions. Arctic Ice Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit leading the global effort to stop Arctic ice melt using a safe, localized approach. By collaborating with top scientific and research organizations in the climate field, AIP is focused on the most promising solution to date, a novel materials approach that proposes to deploy a thin layer of very small hollow glass microspheres across strategically chosen small regions of the Arctic to improve the reflectivity of sea ice, mimicking natural processes to reflect solar energy out of our atmosphere and restore the Arctic. In addition to its ongoing technical work, the team is working to establish international policy, governance, and funding for the adoption of its solution in a manner that ensures involvement and consent from local communities, governments, and global institutions.

RMHC Bay Area anchors children seeking medical treatment with communities of support and necessary resources, while keeping them close to lifesaving care and the families they love.Annette assumed her regional leadership role in 2018, after spearheading the merger of three previously independent Ronald McDonald House entities: Ronald McDonald House at Stanford (where she served as chief executive officer since 2012), Ronald McDonald House of San Francisco and Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bay Area. Under her direction, the new regional RMHC Bay Area chapter successfully consolidated operations while enhancing families’ quality of care and reached 70 percent more families in its first year. Now fully integrated, RMHC Bay Area delivers an ecosystem of care for families coping with their child’s illness throughout the Bay Area – providing more than 34,000 nights of accommodations and collectively saving 3,500 families more than $16 million in housing and meal costs annually.Annette continuously explored opportunities to align resources and enhance impact for sick kids and their families with a focus on expanding services and accelerating growth of in-hospital support programs through collaborative partnerships with a growing number of regional health care providers and philanthropists. Annette has more than 25 years of executive leadership experience, the majority from within the RMHC system. This includes her tenures at RMHC of San Diego and Ronald McDonald House at Stanford – where she successfully lead a nationally-recognized, $47 million capital expansion to create the largest Ronald McDonald House in the world and increased the number of families served by more than 300 percent.
