PHYLLIS D'Hoop
Director, Civility and Governance Projects
Phyllis d’Hoop, Project Director at the Center for the Study of the Presidency, manages the Center’s Communicating America Project and Civility and Inclusive Leadership Project. The former project is designed to identify means of strengthening America’s ability to engage and communicate with societies abroad, through both official public diplomacy and private sector initiatives. The second project seeks to revive civility and inclusive leadership as means of forging national unity of purpose, marshalling the country’s outstanding talent, and developing effective and innovative solutions to the nation’s foreign and domestic challenges. The centerpiece of this initiative is the National Committee to Unite a Divided America, which includes 185 prominent Americans from across the country who have signed the Declaration on Civility and Inclusive Leadership.
Previously, Phyllis worked at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), where she helped design - and served a Project Coordinator of - the U.S.-Poland Action Commission, headed by Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski. She also served as assistant to CSIS’s International Councilors, led by Dr. Henry Kissinger, and helped manage a CSIS initiative to increase understanding about globalization among high school students across the nation.
Phyllis received a B.A. in Philosophy (with distinction) from the University of Louvain in Belgium and obtained her B.A. (magna cum laude) and M.A. in Economics from The George Washington University. She is editor of Strengthening U.S.-Muslim Communications (CSP, 2003).
