WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Representative Jane Harman (D-Calif.) was named President, CEO, and Director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars by the Center's Board of Trustees. The announcement was made today by Ambassador Joseph B. Gildenhorn, Chairman of the Board. Harman will assume her new duties leading the nation's living, national memorial to President Woodrow Wilson on February 28, 2011. She succeeds Lee H. Hamilton who stepped down in November 2010 after leading the institution for nearly 12 years.
Sidney Harman is one cool gent. The entrepreneurial business titan - a co-founder of Harman/Kardon International Industries - is a former Cabinet official, a member of numerous nonprofit boards and an arts patron extraordinaire. He holds a professor's chair at the University of Southern California and, as of Monday, is recipient along with his wife and daughter of Shakespeare Theatre Company's first Sidney Harman Award for Philanthropy in the Arts. It was Mr. Harman, more than any one person, who made possible the institution's Harman Center for the Arts by giving extensive seed money - many millions of dollars - toward the building's capital campaign.
Bill Moos would rather talk about something else. Washington State's athletic director -- an ex-Cougar football player and accomplished storyteller -- would no doubt prefer shaking hands, slapping backs and sharing yarns with friends old and new at events like Friday's Cougar gathering at the Harman Center.
