Description

The organization was founded in 1956 by C. Maxwell and Elizabeth M. Stanley.[1] Following Max Stanley's death in 1984, Richard H. Stanley became president of the Foundation, a position he held until shortly before his death in 2017. From 2007 to January 2013, Vladimir P. Sambaiew served as the foundation's president, capping a distinguished 30-year career as a Foreign Service Officer in the US Department of State.[2] After his retirement he was replaced on January 11, 2013 by Keith Porter, who had been with the Stanley Foundation for 24 years prior to his election.[3] Brian Hanson, a great-nephew of Max and Elizabeth Stanley, now serves as chairman. [4]

In addition to a diverse series of events and programs, the Stanley Foundation has historically been recognized for his media. From 1974 to 2004, the foundation published the influential international news magazine World Press Review. Common Ground, an award-winning weekly radio program on world affairs, ran from 1980 to 2004.[5] The foundation publishes the tri-annual magazine Courier.[6]
