Imagine the opportunity to hear Thomas Jefferson speak on today’s most important societal issues. The Williamsburg Institute is aimed at providing immersive opportunities for leadership development, specifically among three demographics: business professionals and community leaders; lifelong learners; and students seeking leadership skills education. But it does so through an innovative framework — 1700s Virginia.
The Williamsburg Institute, a collaboration between leaders of Colonial Williamsburg and William & Mary, held its first public program in October with a discussion at the Raleigh Tavern that featured portrayers of three 18th-century leaders - Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and the Rev. Gowan Pamphlet.
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and William & Mary have partnered to form a leadership development institute in Williamsburg. Former Hewlett-Packard CEO and onetime GOP presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina will chair the Williamsburg Institute, which will have Walt Disney veteran Christopher Caracci as its executive director.
