NEXT ANNUAL MEETING IS SUNDAY, JANUARY 26, 2025

Marshall Ingwerson is a journalist and former Editor of The Christian Science Monitor. He has been a reporter based all over the US, at the White House, and was stationed in Moscow during the Yeltsin years. As Managing Editor of the Monitor, he managed the transition from being a daily print newspaper to a Web-first news operation with a weekly print edition. As Editor, he led the development and launch of the Monitor as a daily digital subscription product. 

He left the Monitor in 2017 to become Chief Executive of Principia, where he led significant policy changes across its high school and college campuses. He also developed a new strategic plan that opened the door to reversing nearly four decades of enrollment decline.

He is currently based in Laguna Beach, California, working on a major renovation project and developing the What Works Initiative.
