During the Republican convention, panelists included, from left, Sen. Bob Corker, Drew Erdmann, and Clay Johnson.

In partnership with the University of Virginia’s Miller Center and Fortune magazine, The Annenberg Retreat at Sunnylands will present public programs at both the Republican and Democratic national conventions in July to examine what the next presidential administration can – and cannot – learn from CEO transitions in the corporate world.

The twin panels align with the Miller Center’s First Year Project, a non-partisan effort of former White House officials and scholars to offer recommendations, case studies, and policy options to the next presidential administration. The programs will feature new research by the global consulting firm McKinsey & Company.

These programs mark the second time that Sunnylands has presented policy discussions at each of the presidential nominating conventions. In 2012, just six months after its public opening, Sunnylands convened panels on U.S.-Mexico relations, the topic of an early Sunnylands retreat, at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., and the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.

Both events are open to the public. For more information, write contact@sunnylands.org.

Additionally, in concert with the U.S. State Department and both convention committees, Sunnylands will host special programs for foreign ambassadors and other diplomats attending the conventions in Cleveland and Philadelphia.

In 2016, the discussion on presidential transitions will take place during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday, July 19, at the Tower City Center. The panelists include:

• • Haley Barbour, former governor of Mississippi and former chairman of the Republican National Committee

• • Drew Erdmann, partner, McKinsey & Company
