We The People Spring 2016 | Page 2

Our Passion, Your Inspiration With every passing season, Montpelier continues to evolve as a destination. For families, our programs engage every generation, blending unsurpassed educational opportunities with memorable personal experiences. Constitutional scholars, global dignitaries, public officials and rising young leaders from Washington, D.C., reconnect to the source of American democracy at the Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution. And local lovers of the outdoors increasingly call the grounds of Montpelier their own, attracted by its open spaces, miles of trails, dog-friendly attitude and fresh, local food. The evolution of this place is driven by people, scores of passionate volunteers and a team of hard-working, mission-driven staff. The people you will meet on these pages offer a snapshot of our growth and direction. Our efforts today will shape Montpelier for decades to come. If you haven’t visited us in a while, there’s never been a better time to reignite your connection to James Madison’s home and legacy. Best regards, Kat Imhoff President and Chief Executive Officer The Montpelier Foundation
