This really is a vanity piece[edit]

Checked Bio - he's no longer part of New America Foundation. Now Former CEO as of Sept. 2007. This may be better removed due to notability issues. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.23.5.73 (talk) 20:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Elusive biographical facts[edit]

I agree with the Vanity Piece opinion above. However, he does seem to have some notability.

Frustratingly, what info I could find about him seems to be boilerplate bio on several different sites; no info like birthdate, nationality, early childhood, etc. I don't feel it is Encyclopedic, but I leave that to consensus if we need to go that route. Here is one example:

Ted Halstead, New America’s founder, served as the institution’s first president and CEO from its inception in 1999 until September, 2007. He is a frequent public speaker and media commentator, having appeared as a guest on Nightline, ABC’s World News Tonight, CNN, CNBC, C-SPAN, and PBS. He has published numerous articles in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Financial Times, The Atlantic Monthly, Los Angeles Times, and The Harvard Business Review. He is co-author with Michael Lind of The Radical Center: The Future of American Politics, and editor of The Real State of the Union.
Previously, Mr. Halstead was executive director of Redefining Progress, another public policy institute that he founded to promote new approaches to economic and environmental policy. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College, and received his Master’s degree from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. He was selected as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
