Clifton Leaf is a senior editor at large at Fortune Magazine. Leaf, who previously served as the magazine's executive editor, has written a number of articles for Fortune, including the 2004 cover story, entitled "Why We're Losing the War on Cancer (And How to Win It)," which won the Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business Journalism, the Henry R. Luce Award for public service, the NIHCM's 2005 Health Care Journalism prize, and an award from National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship. The Fortune story continues to spark a vigorous global debate about whether efforts against this disease are properly focused. Leaf, who delivered the prestigious "Grand Rounds" at the National Cancer Institute in January 2006, has presented testimony to the President's Cancer Panel and been a keynote or featured speaker at meetings sponsored by organizations including the American Association for Cancer Research and the American Society of Clinical Oncology. In 2006, Leaf, a member of Komen's Public Policy Advisory Council, delivered the keynote at Komen's annual Mission Conference. A graduate of Williams College in 1985, he later received a Master of Fine Arts in writing from Sarah Lawrence College in 1993. |
