Senator McCain is Chairman of IRI’s Board of Trustees. “Ambassador Mark Green’s leadership and expertise are well-known throughout the foreign policy and pro-democracy communities around the world,” said Senator McCain. “As a former congressman, ambassador and leader of the Initiative for Global Development, Mark is uniquely qualified to lead the International Republican Institute. In my capacity as chairman of IRI’s board, I look forward to working with Mark to further this institution’s vitally important mission of helping advance democracy in some of the most challenging places throughout the world.” Prior to serving as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Initiative for Global Development, Ambassador Green was U.S. Ambassador to Tanzania from mid-2007 to early 2009 and served four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Wisconsin’s 8th District. Ambassador Green will replace Lorne W. Craner, who ably served as IRI president from 1995-2001 and again from 2004-2013. “On behalf of IRI’s Board of Directors, I thank Lorne for his outstanding leadership,” said Senator McCain. “He has served America with distinction and honor and led IRI with the values and principles established by President Ronald Reagan. We know that Lorne will continue to serve this nation in many capacities, as he has for many years.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
