A colleague asked me for suggestions of female speakers in the EA sphere for their high-profile colloquium in Washington DC (not sure if I can disclose the institution, & not sure if it's in person or virtual). This may be a terrific opportunity for both this person & the EA movement. Who would you recommend?

Rachel Glennester is excellent. In so far as I know them, I'd trust her views on the effectiveness of development policy. She did great things as the UK Chief Economist for the Development department. She is a GWWC member and has talked at an ea conference in the. I'm not sure but I think she might now be in the US.

2yThanks! She talked there last year or the year before... But just out of curiosity, are you saying that she is an effective altruist? This didn't seem obvious to me in previous exchanges with her...

2yI don't know that she'd call herself an effective altruist, but if you just want someone to talk about doing effective development spending then I'm not sure that it matters...
Thanks!! She looks perfect, and it wasn't obvious from her professional page that she was EA, so this was a great find - I've suggested her name.
