Full Brief

Leonard Gilroy is vice president of government reform at Reason Foundation and senior managing director of Reason's Pension Integrity Project.

Amy Pelletier is officially Reason's Director of Organizational Development, and unofficially Reason's Jill-of-all-trades-wrangling a new database, planning major events like Reason Weekend, and managing Reason's far-flung human capital. Her dual focus is on the infrastructure that supports and connects Reason's highly productive policy analysts, journalists and video producers, and the identification of new talent for the organization. Amy joined Reason Foundation in 2005 as a project manager coordinating and leading outreach for Reason's Mobility Project.
