Peter W. Galbraith has been named to the Grace Cottage Foundation Board of Directors.

Galbraith is internationally recognized as a peace negotiator and advocate for environmental protection, human rights, and global democracy.

He served as the first U.S. Ambassador to Croatia (1993- 1998), where he mediated the 1995 Erdut Agreement that ended the Croatia War and participated in negotiations that led to the Dayton Peace Accords for Bosnia.

He served on the staff of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 1979 to 1993 and was responsible for the Committee's major legislation as well as the South Asia and Middle East region.

From 2000 to 2001, Galbraith was Director for Political, Constitutional and Electoral Affairs for the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor, where he designed the territory's first interim government and served as a cabinet minister.

Galbraith is a principal of the Windham Resources Group LLC, a Townshend-based firm that specializes in international negotiations for government and corporate clients, and Senior Diplomatic Fellow at the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation. He holds degrees from Harvard University (BA), Oxford University (MA), and Georgetown University (JD).

Considered one of the U.S.'s foremost experts on Iraq, Galbraith is the author of The End of Iraq: How American Incompetence Created a War Without End (2006) and Unintended Consequences: How War in Iraq Strengthened America's Enemies (2008).

Galbraith is the son of John Kenneth and Catherine Atwater Galbraith. He is married to Norwegian social anthropologist Dr. Tone Bringa and has three children.

"Ever since my parents first bought their 'farm' in Newfane in the 1940's," said Peter, "Grace Cottage has always been there when any members of our family or our many visitors have needed medical care. I'm very pleased to be able to give back."
