Susan Eisenhower is president of the Eisenhower Institute. Formerly chariman and co-founder of the Center for Political and Strategic Studies (CPSS), she joined the Institute as CEO when the two organizations recently combined programs.
Eisenhower has spent 15 years of her career on foreign policy issues, though she came to the field from the business community. A onetime consultant to IBM, American Express and Loral Space Systems, she is best known for her work on U.S.-Russian relations and international security issues. In 1997, Eisenhower testified before two United States Senate committees on NATO expansion and in 1998 she was appointed to the National Academy of Sciences' standing Committee on International Security and Arms Control (CISAC). During the fall semester of 1998, she lectured on "Russia and the West" at the Kennedy School of Government's Institute of Politics at Harvard University. Two years later, while still chairing CPSS, she held the position of Distinguished Visiting Fellow, with a focus on security issues, at the Nixon Center. She has spoken at many universities and World Affairs Councils, and to professional audiences such as the one assembled at the Army War College, where she gave the 1998 Commandant's Lecture.
In spring 2000, Eisenhower was appointed by the Secretary of Energy to a blue-ribbon task force to evaluate U.S.-funded non-proliferation programs in Russia. She also serves as an Academic Fellow of the International Peace and Security program of Carnegie Corporation of New York. Eisenhower has received three honorary doctorates and a number of other awards for her work in U.S.-Russian relations.
Ms. Eisenhower has authored three books, two of which - "Breaking Free" and "Mrs. Ike" - have appeared on bestseller lists. She has also edited three collected volumes on regional security issues, and penned hundreds of op-eds and articles for publications including The Washington Post, The LA Times, USA Today, the Naval Institute's Proceedings, the London Spectator, Gannett newspapers and Wolfe Publications. Frequently, she has provided analysis for NPR and network television programs, including CNN, CNN International, MS/NBC, "Nightline," 7his Week with David Brinkley," "The CBS News with Dan
Rather," "ABC Evening News with Peter Jennings," "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer," "Fox News with Brit Hume' and "Hardball with Chris Matthews."
Eisenhower serves on a number of boards, including the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the National Advisory Council of NASA, the Eisenhower Exchange Fellowships, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and the Nuclear Threat Initiative. She is on the board of MIC Industries and served on other corporate boards, including two mutual funds now part of the Oppenheimer Group. She has served and completed terms as a trustee of the Rochester Institute of Technology and Gettysburg College, and she has been on the boards of the Nitze School of Advanced International Studies and The Atlantic Council. Eisenhower graduated from the Wesftown School and in the 1970s she lived in Europe, first as a student of European history at the American College in Paris, and then in London for six years.
