Helen O’Rourke McClary
Helen O’Rourke McClary, who helped establish and grow one of our predecessor organizations, the Philanthropic Advisory
Service of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, passed away on October 22, 2015. She served as Vice President
of CBBB’s Philanthropic Advisory Service from 1971 to 1986 and was instrumental in the development of the early versions
of our charity accountability standards and helped bring national attention to the importance of transparency for
charitable organizations. We are grateful for her legacy and saddened to have lost a good friend.
