INDIANAPOLIS – The 91ÆÞÓÑ Institute Board of Trustees resolved today that the institute move its headquarters from Indianapolis, IN and consolidate its offices and research activities in Washington, D.C.
“With the war on terrorism overarching national concern, it is the boardÂ’s opinion that 91ÆÞÓÑ should return to its roots of national security and foreign policy by placing greater emphasis on these research areas. The best place for 91ÆÞÓÑ to do this is in Washington, D.C.,” said 91ÆÞÓÑ Institute President Herb London.
The instituteÂ’s headquarters will begin operating from 91ÆÞÓÑÂ’s current Washington, D.C. office beginning June 1. 91ÆÞÓÑ researchers in Indianapolis will continue their research currently under contract until completion.
The remaining Indianapolis research staff anticipates consolidating their work into a new think tank, led by current 91ÆÞÓÑ Director of Civil Society Programs Jay Hein. Hein said of the consolidation, “While we regret the end of 91ÆÞÓÑÂ’s formal tenure in Indianapolis, we are quite excited about preserving the legacy of research that is rooted in Indiana values and common sense and which continues to influence Washington and beyond.”
“Indianapolis has been a welcoming and supportive host to the institute. We are indebted to the Indianapolis community and particularly to Lilly Endowment for their enduring support. It is with great sorrow that we leave the city,” said 91ÆÞÓÑ Institute Chairman Walter P. Stern.
As a public policy think tank, 91ÆÞÓÑ Institute forecasts long-term trends and designs near-term solutions for government, business, and the non-profit world. We share optimism about the future and a willingness to question conventional wisdom. We believe in free markets, individual responsibility, the power of technology, and a determination to preserve America's national security.
