Message From Executive Director Melissa Flagg
JAFFREY, NH – I am genuinely excited to join The Andrew W. Marshall Foundation as Executive Director. I am particularly excited to announce our cornerstone initiative that will be my primary focus over the next two years: the development of a comprehensive digital archive and library. This project will involve digitizing the papers of Andrew W. Marshall and integrating them with influential works from his contemporaries, friends, those he funded, and the research that inspired him.
Our goal is to make this rich resource widely accessible to our community, featuring robust query, search, and summarization capabilities, and ensuring its long-term sustainability. This endeavor is central to our mission to honor Andy Marshall’s legacy, not just by preserving his intellectual contributions, but by creating a vibrant platform to find, nurture, and encourage the people who will shape our future. This digital library will serve as a foundation for fostering innovative perspectives and generating fresh insights for successive generations of strategic thinkers, building on Andy’s profound legacy
While I will be dedicated to establishing and growing this vital program, Jaymie Durnan, our Co-founder and Chair, will continue to guide the Foundation’s broader e”orts in directly finding and fostering the exceptional individuals who embody Andy’s spirit of curious and rigorous strategic thinking. I look forward to working with you all as we build out this initiative and hope to engage this community directly over the coming months. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with your ideas, reports and papers that we might integrate, or just your stories of Andy. We have established a dedicated email for this e”ort and welcome your contributions: library@andrewwmarshallfoundation.org
