Anderson brings a wealth of knowledge from the financial and investment sector that will expand Sutherland’s impact on free enterprise and economic issues.
“Hal’s professional expertise and leadership will certainly guide and influence this important stage of Sutherland’s growth,” said Rick Larsen, president and CEO of Sutherland Institute. “But it is his character and commitment to the foundations and institutions of this nation that will enable us to expand our contributions to principled public policy.”
