In 1952, General Dwight Eisenhower visited Little Rock while campaigning for the presidency.  Tonight, one of his grandchildren visits Little Rock on a different type of campaign.  Susan Eisenhower will be speaking at the Clinton School discussing “Energy Infrastructure and Energy Security.”

Susan Eisenhower is the CEO and Chairman of The Eisenhower Group, Inc., a Washington D.C.-based consulting company that provides strategic counsel on business development, public affairs, and communications for Fortune 500 companies around the world.

She currently serves on MIT’s Energy Initiative Advisory Board, as the co-chair of the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy Advisory Board and is on the steering committee of the Energy Future Coalition and its Americans for Clean Energy Grid. The granddaughter of President Dwight Eisenhower, Susan has extensive knowledge of the energy industry and is a frequent speaker and author on public policy matters related to energy and national security.

This is a return visit to Little Rock for Ms. Eisenhower. In 2007, she was present for the activities commemorating the 50th anniversary of the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School.
