Board of Directors

CNP is governed by a Board of Directors experienced in government and the private and non-profit sectors. Peter Kovler, Director of the Marjorie Kovler Fund, is chairman, succeeding Leon Panetta, former White House chief of staff.

The founding chairman was Terry Sanford, whose career included service as governor of North Carolina, president of Duke University and U.S. senator. Cyrus Vance and Edmund Muskie, two former U.S. secretaries of state, also chaired CNP's Board of Directors.

Other CNP Board members have included Robert Rubin, prior to his term as U.S. secretary of the treasury; former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Thomas S. Foley; former Republican members of Congress Jack Buechner and Rod Chandler, and former Democratic members of Congress John Brademas and Michael Barnes.
