He has served as president of World Wildlife Fund, as a founder or advisor to several business ventures, and on many boards of directors.

Reilly's father moved his family from Illinois to South Texas when Reilly was 10. From the Rio Grande Valley, the Reillys moved to Fall River, Massachusetts, where he finished high school at Durfee High School. He subsequently attended Yale University, where he earned an A.B. in history. During his Yale years, Reilly took advantage of the junior year abroad program to study in France. Reilly then earned a law degree from Harvard Law School, completing a thesis on land reform in Chile. After law school, Reilly entered the United States Army and served a tour of duty during 1966 and 1967 as a captain〔(EPA Profile )〕 in Europe with an intelligence unit planning for the evacuation of U.S. troops from France. During that time, he married Elizabeth "Libbie" Buxton. After completing military service, Reilly returned to school and received a master's degree in urban planning at Columbia University. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William K.
