Federal Hall National Memorial, . FROM THE DIRECTORS Dear Friend of the Miller Center: In this era of bitter partisanship, our work studying the American presidency has never been more important. We mine the lessons of history to provide a nonpartisan foundation on which public policy can be built—bringing our discoveries to the media, scholars, and key presidential infl uencers on both sides of the political aisle. And we bring our insights directly to interested citizens, through our website, electronic newsletters, public events, and social media.

Our commitment to high-quality presidential research is unsurpassed by any institution in the country. Our aim? To deliver our nation’s most complete understanding of past administrations to help shape and understand those of today and tomorrow.

This is a diffi cult assignment, considering the degree to which BILL ANTHOLIS Americans are divided. But contemplate the alternative: What if the Miller Center did not exist to help facilitate civil discourse? What if we weren’t the trusted nonpartisan source for these key policy makers, scholars, and journalists? Could our democracy function without institutions that foster conversation and connect people from across the political spectrum? Could we really thrive if all our conversations were partisan exchanges?

Our success is thanks entirely to people like you, our most loyal and committed benefactors. We take seriously our responsibility to earn your trust and greatly appreciate your contributions. We hope you enjoyed this past year of programs, panel discussions, and other events—and look forward to seeing you again in the coming year. (Don’t forget to follow us on millercenter.org and via Facebook and Twitter.)

Putting together this annual report every year offers us the opportunity to refl ect on all that the Miller Center has accomplished over the DOUG TROUT past 12 months. Without fail, that exercise only strengthens our commitment to the principles established with our founding more than four decades ago: that American democracy depends on honest investigation, historical understanding, and respectful dialogue. Thanks to your continued support, those values resonate here at the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, and beyond.

With thanks,

BILL ANTHOLIS DOUG TROUT Director and CEO Executive Director Miller Center Miller Center Foundation
