Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation Announces new Chairman

Steven Ford, son of former U.S. President Gerald R. Ford and first lady Betty Ford, announced that he has concluded his term as chair of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation. Ford will be succeeded by Red Cavaney who served on the White House staffs of Presidents Gerald R. Ford, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.

Cavaney recently retired from ConocoPhillips, the world’s largest independent oil and natural gas producer, as senior vice president of government affairs and a member of its executive leadership team. Since retiring, he has served as the president of the board of trustees of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation and on the boards of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Resources for the Future.

Ford and Cavaney were both on my show, Andy in the Morning, yesterday morning.  If you missed the interview, here it is.

They went on to announce the new addition to the Ford Museum

They also announced the digitalization of important papers at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library in Ann Arbor. The Foundation officials will move ahead with the Museum’s design plans and details for the permanent exhibit redesign. State-of-the-art technology and improvements will be incorporated throughout the Museum, enhancing the experience and engaging visitors in a deeper conversation about the impact of President and Mrs. Ford on the nation during those extraordinary times.

A groundbreaking date for the student learning center and the creation of the interactive exhibits will be announced in the coming months.
