Carly Fiorina, the National Honorary Chair of the Virginia 250 Commission, will deliver remarks at Christopher Newport University. As Chair and CEO of Hewlett-Packard, Fiorina became the first woman to lead a Fortune 50 company. As a student of history and philosophy at Stanford University, she first began to appreciate the power of ideas to drive change and the impact of history on the present and future. She believes that a deeper understanding of our nation’s full history, as well as the ideas upon which America was founded is particularly important during the current climate of division, discord, and political dysfunction. She serves as the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and as the National Honorary Chair of the Virginia 250 Commission. In both positions, her priority is to ensure that our nation’s founding is widely understood, accurately depicted, and commemorated.
