For a generation of Americans, the name Eisenhower meant victory, competency, security and solvency. From his rise to fame as the top allied commander in Europe during World War II to his presidency in 1953, Dwight David Eisenhower offered a masterclass in leadership. 

Susan Eisenhower is the author of “How Ike Led: The Principles Behind Eisenhower’s Biggest Decisions.” Her book demonstrates not just what a great American did, but why―and the crucial lessons in leadership that remain exceedingly important. During her lecture at the Pell Center, Susan Eisenhower will reflect on her grandfather’s lessons and explore the values that they hold today.

Susan Eisenhower is an outspoken advocate for setting national priorities and advancing a civil, fact-based discourse on America’s challenges. She puts national and international public policy from the past, present and future into context for a country in need of solutions and a clear direction.
