"Eight years is only the beginning. Barack Obama's commitment to public service preceded his presidency, and will continue long after he and the first lady leave the White House. The foundation will carry forward the Obamas' efforts to inspire active citizenship, expand economic opportunity, and promote peace and justice throughout the world," said the email.
The work has just begun.
The President's historic candidacy was never just about winning an office; it was about building a movement to tackle challenges that would define a generation. That work will live on in the Obama Foundation, which will inspire people of all backgrounds and beliefs to better their communities, their countries, and their world.
Our Leadership The Barack Obama Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors and chaired by civic leader Martin Nesbitt.
