Atlanta, Ga. Anne Wexler was a remarkably effective public servant.

She served our nation in an exemplary way, and after leaving the White House Anne continued to use her special talents as one of the most successful lobbyists in Washington. Her integrity brought a good image to her often criticized profession.
