The George W. Bush Presidential Center is set to celebrate its 10 year anniversary.
The George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas opened its doors 10 years ago with the goal of being much more than a museum.
“You mention President Bush. His change here was, 'I don't want this to just be a think tank, I want it to be a do tank as well,'” said Ken Hersh, President and CEO of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. Its opening was historic, a major event in North Texas with 5 presidents in attendance. A decade later, the Bush Center is growing.
President and CEO Ken Hersh says according to a recent economic impact study, the George W. Bush Presidential Center has had a $2 billion of impact on North Texas, welcoming close to 2 million people to the museum, and many others to their public policy programs. “That is something you can quantify. The stuff that is hard to quantify is how we have moved the needle on some pretty major public policy areas around opportunity, democracy, and global health and women's empowerment around the world. And it has just been an incredible run. Inspired by, everything we do, the Bush’s foundational principles of freedom and opportunity, accountability and compassion," Hersh said.
