Teresa Heinz Kerry

Teresa Heinz, the wife of Senator John Kerry, is the chairman of the Howard Heinz Endowment and the Heinz Family Philanthropies. The New York Times has called her "one of the nation's leading philanthropists." Named by Utne magazine as one of 100 American visionaries ("people who could change your life"), she is recognized as one of our premier environmental leaders. And she has been a long-time and tireless educator and advocate on behalf of women's health and economic security.
