In June 2008, Drew Saunders Days III retired from the Board of the MacArthur Foundation after 11 years of service. He chaired the Board’s budget committee early in his tenure and, most recently, chaired the committee on domestic grantmaking.
Drew brought to MacArthur a keen analytical ability and insatiable intellectual curiosity developed during his distinguished career in law and teaching. While he was deeply committed and contributed enormously to the Foundation’s programs in juvenile justice and international justice, he was interested and involved in all aspects of MacArthur’s work.
Through his quiet leadership and humanity, Drew set high standards of excellence in the governance of the Foundation and helped the Board focus on how MacArthur’s work impacts people. Whether with Foundation colleagues in Chicago or with MacArthur grantees around the world, he always asked probing questions in a quiet manner that opened up conversations and led to new insights about the complex issues at hand.
The MacArthur Foundation expresses its gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to Drew for his service.
