About Us
“Of all the properties which belong to honorable men, not one is so highly prized as that of character.”
~Henry Clay
The Henry Clay Memorial Foundation developed The Henry Clay Center for Statesmanship to create a globally-recognized center which promotes the principles and practices of statesmanship and embodies Henry Clay’s ideals of debate, diplomacy and beneficial compromise.
Located in Henry Clay’s Law Office on Mill Street in Lexington, Kentucky, The Henry Clay Center for Statesmanship is governed by a Board of Directors and a National Advisory Committee Co-Chaired by the Honorable Sandra Day O’Connor and the Honorable Nancy Kassebaum Baker.
To help educate a new generation in the skills and processes of statesmanship, The Henry Clay Center for Statesmanship hosts an annual undergraduate short course exposing top college juniors from every state and the District of Columbia to a curriculum in diplomacy, dialogue, listening skills, negotiation and mediation. The Student Congress is a resource for individuals looking to hone their skills in leadership and statesmanship.
