Alyson was a valued colleague of mine while we were both on staff at ACNM over 20 years ago, and we have stayed in touch ever since. When it comes to health policy, particularly in the area of women’s health, Alyson is a tremendous resource. Her knowledge of health policy is comprehensive and her skills in translating that knowledge into action are impressive.

I have had the good fortune to know, and work with, Alyson Reed for many years and in various contexts. During her time as the Executive Director of the Linguistic Society of America, my interactions with her were mostly related to my scientific and administrative experience. Of particular relevance were roles that I served in at Haskins Laboratories, the National Science Foundation, and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Working with Alyson has always been a delight. Her knowledge, experience, and ability to get things done are remarkable. She makes things happen and brings people together in a most effective manner. Her mastery of academia, the political scene in Washington, D.C., policy, and connecting to people, has made her an enormously effective advocate for linguistics and science in general. Her administrative and business skills are excellent.
