  • The Carter Center Atlanta, Georgia
    LEADERSHIP PROFILE Chief Executive Officer The Carter Center Atlanta, Georgia “I am excited and energized about the next chapter of The Carter Center. Our most significant accomplishments are yet to come.” --President Jimmy Carter A COMPELLING OPPORTUNITY The Carter Center is a global leader in human rights, focused on peace, health and alleviation of human suffering. Founded in 1982 by former President Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter, The Carter Center has saved and enhanced countless lives in over 80 countries. The Center seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health. It receives over $300 million a year in cash, pledges and in-kind support.

The Center is transitioning from a founder-led organization to one that is guided by the founders’ principles. The next CEO will build on a strong foundation, focusing the Center’s unique capacities and principles on critical current and emerging issues. “We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.” President Carter in his inaugural address The Carter Center CEO Leadership Profile, October 2019 Page 2 of 6 The next CEO will lead The Carter Center forward in ways that make the greatest possible difference.

  • Jimmy Carter: a Moral Hero (Student Essay)
    Jimmy Carter: A Moral Hero (Student Essay) Danny Haidar (Utica Academy for International Studies) Abstract. Following the end of Jimmy Carter’s first and only term as President of the United States, historians scrambled to put his presidency in the proper context. More than thirty years later, Carter has become associated with failed presidencies. To be compared to him is to be insulted. Even so, Jimmy Carter has had one of the most prolific, philanthropic post-presidential lives of any former American president. This is inconsistent with the image of his single term in office that the media has painted—a good man should have been a good president. To better understand this irony, this investigation shall seek to answer the following question: how did Jimmy Carter’s pre-presidential experiences affect his leadership as President of the United States of America (1977-1981)? This article will draw on apolitical, supportive and critical accounts of Carter’s presidency, as well as Carter’s own accounts of his beliefs and childhood experiences. While historians interpret Carter’s life events differently, each interpretation reveals important influences on Carter’s leadership in the White House. I will argue that Carter held too tightly to his morals to be suited to presidency. Carter’s childhood and pre-presidential political experiences created a man who was, indeed, unfit for the White House. The problem was less with his political vision than it was with his execution of that vision. Carter’s tragic presidential tale serves as a reminder that moral malleability is a necessity in the highest office of a government.

DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M.

  • An Analysis of the Presidency of Jimmy Carter
    An Analysis of the Presidency of Jimmy Carter Simona Škařupová Bachelor's thesis 2021 ABSTRAKT Tato bakalářská práce analyzuje působení Jimmyho Cartera v roli 39. prezidenta Spojených států od roku 1977 do roku 1981. Když na začátku 70. let vyšly najevo nelegální aktivity a nečestnost bývalého prezidenta Richarda Nixona, byl Jimmy Carter Američany vnímán jako správná volba. Ačkoliv si Prezident Ford vedl dobře, stal se obětí tzv. [pendulum] efektu, který je často spojován se střídáním dvou politických stran. Amerika vyžadovala změnu a tu, evangelík z Jihu a Washingtonský outsider, Jimmy Carter představoval. Neexistovalo však nic, co by Cartera ochránilo před bouřlivými událostmi z konce 70. let. Tato práce hodnotí úspěchy a neúspěchy Carterové prezidentury a zjišťuje, proč nebyl znovuzvolen. Ačkoli jeho prezidentura byla silně kritizována a do značné míry považována za neefektivní, Jimmy Carter by měl být respektován za to, že se vždy snažil ze špatné situace vytěžit maximum. Klíčová slova: 70. léta, Dohody z Camp Davidu, Gerald Ford, Iránská krize rukojmí, Jimmy Carter, Panamský průplav, [pendulum] efekt, prezident, Ronald Reagan, Spojené státy ABSTRACT This bachelor's thesis analyzes Jimmy Carter's role as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. When the illegal activities and dishonesty of former President Richard Nixon became clear in the early 1970s, Jimmy Carter began to appeal to Americans as a virtuous alternative. President Ford did well enough, but he became a victim of the pendulum effect often associated with a two-party system. America desired a change, and Carter, an evangelical southerner and Washington outsider, was it. Nothing, however, could protect Carter from the turbulent events of the late-1970s, which undermined his presidency and led to him being the first consecutive one-term president.
