Ask the CEO: A Conversation with Ali Noorani, Head of the Barr Foundation
Join the Chronicle for a conversation with Ali Noorani, who stepped into leadership at the Barr Foundation in December 2025. Noorani previously directed U.S. democracy programs at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, a $40 million annual investment in efforts to bolster democracy, overcome political polarization, and build trust in institutions. Chronicle CEO Stacy Palmer will talk with Noorani about how the Barr Foundation is responding to this fraught moment and how he’s building bridges to accomplish his priorities.
