Bio: Dawn Moncrief, Executive Director

Dawn Moncrief has worked in the nonprofit sector since 1994 and has graduate degrees from The George Washington University: one in International Relations specializing in economic development, the other specializing in women-in-development.

Her focus is on the detrimental effects of animal agriculture on world hunger, especially women in less-developed countries. Related areas of expertise are global trade and environmental protection via diet and agricultural reform. She advocates a plant-based diet as a critical part of solutions for helping the world's hungry and reducing global warming--as well as the best practice to improve health, protect the environment, and care for animals.
