Founded in 2007, the Henry Clay Center is a bipartisan nonprofit organization that works with current and future leaders to honestly, critically and intelligently reflect on matters of national significance; debate the merits of those issues; and ultimately find the strength of character needed to arrive at a compromise and solve the problems that hinder America’s process of continual improvement for all Americans.
As previously announced, the Henry Clay Center and the University of Kentucky James W. Martin School of Public Policy and Administration established in 2020 a formal affiliation to aid in the advancement of public policy education and bipartisan engagement.
