2 President , fellow Trustee, and very much still our “very own Baroness”. After Jill retired in December the Board elected Nicholas Ward as its new Chairman. Nicholas and his lovely wife Veronica are actually neighbors of the Manor. Nicholas brings great exper- tise in business turn-arounds and has begun to apply his skills at the Manor. He has proven to be an invaluable leader as we try to find the best way to a more sound and stable financial footing to head into our second century of stewardship of Sulgrave Manor. Great pro- gress has been made, as you will learn about as you read further in the newsletter. Our Annual Meeting in Philadelphia brings my term of office to a close.

Our second project is the Sulgrave Manor Sympo- sium, to be held in Washington, DC in October, 2014 to commemorate the Bicentennial of the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1814. The symposium will celebrate the unique, dynamic and collaborative two hundred year relationship between Great Britain and the United States. It will highlight past and current contributions in the areas of diplomacy, government and academics in support of this partnership and will feature nationally known speakers from both the US and Great Britain. Our Symposium Committee is being led by Sue Knep- per, an Illinois Dame, as Chairman and by Pearl Ad- amson, a Virginia Dame, as Vice Chairman. We are thrilled to be holding the symposium in partnership with George Washington University and George Wash- ington’s as well as the NSCDA!
