About Cathy Healy
Cathy Healy believes that working together on projects with people from other cultures leads to tolerance, which is more essential than ever. She is a member of the Partners of the Americas International Board, chair of the Membership Development Committee and active in projects with Colorado, Texas, Utah, La Paz/Altiplano, and Peru chapters. She also is a member of the IEARN-USA Advisory Council. In both NGOs, networks of diverse volunteers work on projects to improve lives and understand others. Backstory: Cathy comes from a family ranch in Wyoming, where she has maintained strong roots while seeing and explaining the world with published articles and novels. As editor-in-chief of the Organization of American States' award-winning Américas Magazine, Cathy was recruited by the National Geographic Society to invigorate its internal magazine. There, two events transformed her life. 1) Reporting on Geographic's Kids Network, a pre-Web science curriculum that used telephone lines for virtual exchanges worldwide, and 2) joining the DC-Brasília Chapter of Partners.Cathy led the first Geographic publication to go completely digital, and she was the founding editor of Geographic's intranet, named one of the world's 10-Best Intranets by Nielsen Norman.In her off-hours, she began to advocate, organize, recruit, and connect teachers and students in virtual and physical exchanges. These actions included being the catalyst for DC-Brasília's Ambassadors of Hope exchanges (eight in total) that inspired the model for the US State Department's Youth Ambassadors program, now in 26 countries.After retirement from Geographic, Cathy moved into full-time advocacy, with a year at Stanford as a Reuters Digital Vision Fellow. There, her "humanitarian project with a tech solution" focused on improving English-language literacy for public-school students in DC and Brasília through the use of iEARN's 100 K-12 projects in its network of 140 countries.At the same time, Cathy has been active in Wyoming. Currently, she and a team of classmates are adding to the Washakie Museum's oral history collection with a sub-collection: Worland's War Babies: 1941-1960. Through the end of 2018, she was vice president of the LU Ranch, recognized for its sustainable practices and technological acumen—including being the first ranch to use computers.
