A Book on the History of the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ

In advance of the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ’s 250th anniversary in 2030, the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ is developing a book illuminating the organization’s history. The publication will examine where the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ has fallen short of its goals to advance the common good and where it has excelled, and what it has meant for the nation it was created to serve.
