Susan Eisenhower, the Institute's Chairman of Leadership and Public Policy Programs and Chair Emeritus, recently traveled to Massena, New York for the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the St. Lawrence Seaway. One of the largest infrastructure projects in North America, the 2,300 mile long seaway connects the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean through a series of canals in New York, Ontario, and Quebec. It was officially inaugurated on June 26, 1959 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
