But Alan Pifer, the foundation's president, wrote to chairmen of the firms emphasizing the "substantial importance" of the issues. Trustees of the United Methodist Church's Glide Foundation ($6 million) wrote to each of the companies in the Glide portfolio that they would support management's slate of directors only if it included women and "minority-group" representatives.
