The Hudson Institute, a Washington-based Conservative think tank, announced the appointment of Nikki Haley as the next Walter P. Stern chair.
The former governor of South Carolina and US ambassador to the United Nations, dropped out of the presidential race last month after failing to secure enough votes against Republican front runner Donald Trump on Super Tuesday.
“When our policymakers fail to call out our enemies or acknowledge the importance of our alliances, the world is less safe. That is why Hudson’s work is so critical,” Haley said in a statement about the new role.
“They believe the American people should have the facts and policymakers should have the solutions to support a secure, free, and prosperous future. I look forward to partnering with them to defend the principles that make America the greatest country in the world,” the Indian American added.
“Nikki is a proven, effective leader on both foreign and domestic policy,” Hudson president and CEO John P. Walters said. “In an era of worldwide political upheaval, she has remained a steadfast defender of freedom and an effective advocate for American security and prosperity. We are honored to have her join the Hudson team.”
The chair established in 2020 honor’s the achievements of the institute's former chairman, Walter “Wally” Stern, who was instrumental in making Hudson one of Washington’s most respected research organizations.
“It is fitting that Nikki has taken on this title,” Sarah May Stern, chair of Hudson’s Board of Trustees, said. “She is a courageous and insightful policymaker and these qualities are vital in making Hudson the powerhouse policy organization it is today, and I am extremely proud that she has joined the Institute.”
