Founded in 1920, the English-Speaking Union of the United States is a national membership organization with more than 4,000 members organized in 65 Branches across the country. ESU members and volunteers are the pillars of our educational and cultural programs as they work in their local communities to carry the ESU mission forward.
For 100 years, the ESU educational and cultural programs have enriched the lives of American students, teachers, English language learners and ESU members. The English-Speaking Union employs English as a shared language to foster global understanding and goodwill by providing educational and cultural programs for students, educators, English language learners, new immigrants and members.
Dear Friends,
As Chairman of the English-Speaking Union of the United States, I’m pleased to present to you the 2020-2021 Annual Report.
This report is a proud record of the ESU’s accomplishments during a stormy year that tested us greatly, individually and as an organization. And as you will read in the pages that follow, we gave it our best and rose to the challenge. We celebrated the ESU’s Centennial to great fanfare, deployed technology to communicate with the ESU community and carry on our educational programs, and offered exciting virtual events that kept you engaged and inspired.
This Annual Report is also a record of the outstanding leadership of Ambassador Dr. Paul Beresford-Hill CBE, who stepped down as Chairman of the ESU last fall. The pandemic was only the latest of the hurdles that the ESU overcame during his six-year chairmanship. With a steady hand and a sense of purpose, Dr. Beresford-Hill righted the ESU’s course, brought our Board and membership together and re-focused the organization on its fundamental strengths – our mission, our members and our programs. The 2020-2021 accomplishments are the embodiment of Dr. Beresford-Hill’s vision.
This report is also a recognition of our members and volunteers. Your loyalty made 2020-2021 a truly centennial year. Your participation ensured the success of our virtual events. Your support boosted the Shakespeare, Luard Morse and Evelyn Wrench Endowments that provide the core funding of the ESU’s flagship programs. Thank you for staying with us.
It is also an acknowledgment of the perseverance of our teachers and students, new immigrants and English language learners who took part in the ESU’s educational programs and exchanges. You found the strength to participate in the ESU National Shakespeare Competition, to vie for the Luard Morse and TLab scholarships, to join the Andrew Romay New Immigrant Center (ARNIC) classes and workshops and to meet, albeit virtually, with your English tutors, in order to continue making strides toward your goals.
And finally, this Annual Report is a testament to the hard work and talent of the ESU staff. Led by Executive Director Karen Karpowich, they are the engine behind the ESU’s success.
For your endless generosity and commitment to the English-Speaking Union – thank you.
2020-2021 will remain in the history of the English-Speaking Union as one of its most extraordinary years. It was a year of great uncertainty and disquiet – about our friends, families and fellow ESU members in Branches across the country. It was also a year of commemoration. Our Union turned 100—a remarkable testament to the enduring appeal of Sir Evelyn Wrench’s belief that a shared language can forge close personal bonds and serve as an instrument of peace.
And, thanks to our members’ loyal support and active participation, we rose up and responded to the challenge the way the ESU has faced other daunting moments in its century-long past – with resolve, optimism and ingenuity.
The programmatic innovations and initiatives of 2020-2021 demonstrated the ability of technology to shrink distances and bring us together. The year was bookended by two exciting virtual events, the ESU 2020 Centennial Annual General Conference held October 19-23, 2020, and the June 24, 2021 Evening of Storytelling that celebrated the contributions of ESU members, students, and alumni to our organization’s accomplishments.
During the week-long Annual General Conference, ESU members enjoyed lectures and virtual tours, as well as interactive workshops on ESU programs and member activities. The ESU also hosted the meeting of the International Council of the English-Speaking Unions, bringing together thirty-one ESUs from across the globe. The meeting re-affirmed our commitment to strengthen bonds and build bridges between nations and cultures, through our shared language.
Undeniably, the highlight of the Annual General Conference was the Centennial Gala, broadcast live from the ESU Headquarters in New York City on October 21st, 2020. The Gala was a salute to the ESU Centennial and celebrated the generations of ESU members who have built our organization into the internationally recognized educational charity it is today.
But the most important moment of the evening was the unveiling of the Princess Royal Awards by Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal, who, unable to attend in person, sent us her congratulations by video. The Princess Royal Awards were bestowed on six individuals for their extraordinary contributions to the ESU in its global setting: philanthropist Mr. Donald Best; ESU Luard Morse alumnus and benefactor Dr. Laurence C. Morse; then ESU President and now Chairman Dr. Quinn Peeper; humanitarian of ESU immigrant programs’ patron Mrs. Elizabeth Scott; and, posthumously, ESU Chairman Emeritus Mr. William R. Miller CBE, who passed earlier in 2020.
I also had the special privilege to receive this honor. A virtuoso performance of George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” by Dr. Quinn Peeper and the Steven Ray Artists Orchestra enlivened the evening.
And if the Gala was a celebration of the ESU’s trailblazers, the Evening of Storytelling in the spring of 2021 recognized all of you – ESU members, volunteers, students and alumni, friends and supporters. The ESU’s rich legacy is grounded in your commitment, generosity, aspirations, toils and triumphs.
The evening also launched the creation of the ESU Time Capsule – a website created specifically to hold your memories, photos and oral accounts of what made your involvement in the ESU special. And, in the spirit of the evening, we introduced the English-Speaking Union Heritage Society to salute an elite group of members, – those who have been with the organization for twenty years or more.
The year was also rich in educational activities. The thirty-eighth ESU National Shakespeare Competition held its second virtual season. The popular initiatives from the 2020 Competition, including the Teacher Recognition Award and the People’s Choice Award, were expanded to acknowledge the second- and third-place winners. For the first time, all thirty-nine Branch finalists received a stylish personalized ESU 2021 National Shakespeare Competition sweatshirt. I also got one – the privilege of having a National Shakespeare Competition “Aha!” moment thirty-eight years ago.
The successful ESU Happy Hour series drew a record number of attendees because it featured fascinating presenters and topics: Dr. Robin D. Williams on the architecture of the South; British literature specialist Mrs. Marie Kervin on the Brontë sisters; Mr. Ron Whitehead on his outlaw poetry; economist and author Professor Andrea Mays on Shakespeare scandals and scoundrels; Dr. Annie Gray on the cuisine of the popular television show, Downton Abbey; Dr. Natwar Gandhi, former CFO for the District of Columbia, and poet Ms. Panna Naik on her immigrant experience.
Our immigrant programs, English in Action and the Andrew Romay New Immigrant Center (ARNIC), expanded their online offerings with new language instruction classes and workshops that helped students to stay connected and on track toward their personal and professional goals. And in addition to the Thanksgiving gathering via Zoom, ARNIC celebrated the occasion by publishing its first Multicultural Cookbook, featuring cherished recipes submitted by immigrant students, volunteers, teachers, ESU members and staff.
Even the ESU exchange and public speaking programs continued, in anticipation of the lifting of pandemic restrictions. The Luard Morse Selection Committee identified a brilliant scholar for the 2021-2022 year from a record number of applicants from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). In addition, the ESU Middle School Debate program had an active tournament season, with bouts held via Zoom.
2020-2021 was personally important to me because it was my last program year as Chairman. I look back on the past six years with wonder and deep gratitude for the extraordinary experience leading this venerable organization into its next century. And since my involvement with the organization predates my chairmanship by quite a number of decades, I can say that the ESU has been and will continue to be a significant part of my life.
I know that all of you – ESU Branches, members, volunteers, students, donors and staff – share my profound satisfaction in the ESU’s successes. Enjoy reading about them in this Annual Report and please renew your membership. And if you are not a member yet, join the English-Speaking Union. Attend the ESU events, volunteer, donate to the ESU educational programs and reward yourself with being a part of something that endures – the ESU’s purpose of expanding minds, strengthening friendships and unlocking opportunities through the power of the English language.
The 2020 English-Speaking Union Annual Conference brought together hundreds of members from across the United States and abroad in our first-ever virtually formatted conference. Connecting through Zoom from October 19th to the 23rd, this year’s conference celebrated the beginning of our centennial year and featured honored guest The Princess Royal, President of The English-Speaking Union of the Commonwealth.
Sessions included a meeting of the National Board of Directors, an inspiring kick-off of the 100 Years, 100 Stories project by Martyn Tipping, and an address by the ESU of the Commonwealth featuring Jane Easton, Director General, and Professor James Raven LittD FBA, Chair. Multiple Branch-led breakout sessions on topics including digital communications, analysis of our programming and fundraising preceded the official English-Speaking Union Annual General Meeting on Friday, October 23rd, 2020. The Centennial Gala, held on Wednesday, October 28th, featured remarks by The Princess Royal, Princess Anne, who bestowed The Princess Royal Award on H.E. Dr. Paul Beresford-Hill, Mr. Donald Best, Mr. William R. Miller CBE, KSt.J (posthumously), Dr. Laurence C. Morse, Dr. E. Quinn Peeper and Mrs. Elizabeth Scott D St.J. Additionally, Dr. Laurence C. Morse was also honored with The English-Speaking Union Founder’s Award.
Over the course of the week, key speakers and events included: a special concert by Dr. E. Quinn Peeper with the Steven Ray Artists Orchestra; a virtual Happy Hour lecture by Anthony W. Robins, presented by the ESU Happy Hour Committee; a Plenary Session by Laura Fredricks, JD., author and attorney-turned-philanthropic advisor; a virtual tour of the Morgan Library & Museum by Christine Nelson; and a lecture by Brad Rosenstein, Program Producer for the Presidio Trust in San Francisco, independent curator, speaker, and writer.
In response to the COVID-19 world, ESU members banded together in July of 2020 to introduce the virtual Happy Hour Program Series, which has been met with resounding success. The Happy Hour Program brings guest speakers live from locations all over the world, free of charge using the Zoom format.
All Happy Hour programs are recorded so members and any interested party can watch all programs on-demand. The programs also include a Q&A, which allows for program attendees to ask questions.
You may find all of the recordings from the first and second season of the Happy Hour Program in the program archive.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to cancel our newly reconstituted Evelyn Wrench Speaker Series; however, we were able to feature two dynamic virtual speakers.
Linguist Lynne Murphy, author of the popular blog, “Separated by a Common Language,” lectured on the challenges of English as it is spoken here in U.S. versus the English of our friends across the pond.
Later in the year, fashion historian Hilary Davidson shared her expertise with her lecture on Dress in the Age of Jane Austen.
While the core of the Wrench Program has always been our in-person Branch programming, our online attendance numbers were high and members enjoyed the vibrant discussion and scholarship of these two very accomplished woman.
The Andrew Romay New Immigrant Center (ARNIC) equips recent immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers in the New York metropolitan area with the skills, resources and support they need to integrate fully into U.S. economic and civic life. This needs-based scholarship program offers English language classes, one-to-one conversation sessions with native English speakers as well as opportunities for professional development and community integration.
The global pandemic created both challenges and opportunities. We found innovative ways to support and empower ARNIC members. We continued to offer a full range of programs using remote platforms. Some of the highlights from this year included a virtual career panel with representatives from various sectors and industries, the first-ever online graduation, a virtual Thanksgiving celebration and the production of a multicultural cookbook celebrating the diversity of the ARNIC community. Throughout the year, we continued to strengthen our community partnerships and grow the immigrant programs.
ARNIC is a refuge for me, a place where you have supported me. You have motivated me to keep moving forward.
Victor, ARNIC Member
English in Action (EIA) helps newcomers to the United States master conversational English and learn about life in the U.S. The program fosters cross-cultural exchange by pairing English language learners with volunteer tutors—native English speakers—for one-to-one conversation sessions. A hallmark of the program is its comprehensive tutor training using best practices in cross-cultural learning and leadership development. The tutor training emphasizes work with culturally-diverse populations.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, English in Action adapted and continued to provide participants with opportunities to practice English. Tutors and students continued their conversations remotely from the safety of their homes. We assisted tutors through remote trainings, workshops and monthly support groups. Weekly group discussions provided additional opportunities for students to practice English and build a sense of community with fellow program participants.
The ESU National Shakespeare Competition is a performance-based education program supported by ESU Branches across the country. High school students nationwide read, analyze, perform and recite Shakespearean monologues and sonnets in three qualifying stages: school, ESU Branch and National. In the process, they develop analytical and communication skills, build confidence and learn to appreciate the power of the spoken word. Since 1983, more than 400,000 students have brought the timeless works of Shakespeare to life.

For the second year, the ESU faced the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, and because of the support of our Branches, the 38th National Shakespeare Competition was successfully held on April 26th, 2021. The ESU celebrated the first year of its second century by employing available technology to produce a digital competition, displaying its resolve that the “show must go on.”
Virtual semi-finals were organized using recorded performances uploaded to YouTube. A panel of distinguished judges, located remotely, reviewed the submissions, and selected ten finalists. The finalists went on to perform live via a Zoom meeting and their performances were watched by friends, family and Branch members across the world.
The ESU is one of the few organizations in the United States that provides scholarships to middle and high school teachers to continue their education with summer study in the United Kingdom at the University of Oxford, the University of Edinburgh and Shakespeare’s Globe in London.
Each summer, through the generosity and dedication of ESU Branches, TLab scholarships are awarded to local teachers for study in the United Kingdom for 2 – 6 weeks. Teachers are able to delve deeper into a range of subjects, from English literature and history to creative writing and international politics at Oxford and Edinburgh Universities, or be up on their feet learning how to “teach Shakespeare through performance” at Shakespeare’s Globe in London. Teachers return inspired and eager to share their knowledge with their students, colleagues and ESU Branches.
Due to U.K. COVID-19 quarantine requirements of up to fourteen days in July 2021, Oxford and the Globe postponed their programs until 2022. Three intrepid ESU TLab scholars studied in-person in Edinburgh and one remotely. You can learn about 2021 TLab scholar Estephany Reyes’ adventures in Edinburgh on our website.
The TLab for Lifelong Learners Program opens up to ESU Branch members the international, educational and cultural opportunities previously only available to our middle and high school teachers. These popular one-week ESU programs in the United Kingdom provide the opportunity to live and learn with like-minded souls. Lectures by renowned scholars, behind-the scenes tours, access to archives not open to the public and the company of intellectually curious, worldly and adventurous fellow travelers power the meaningful enrichment and insider perspectives offered by the ESU Travel and Learn Abroad for Lifelong Learners program. Past trips have included Dicken’s London and Shakespeare’s Stratford-Upon-Avon.
Due to COVID-19, the programs were cancelled in 2021. The ESU continues to work closely with Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust and is looking forward to planning new programs in the future.
The ESU Luard Morse Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship that provides up to $25,000 towards a semester of study at a British University during the recipient’s junior year. The scholarship is available only to American students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the United States. The ESU Luard Morse Scholarship is open to students in all disciplines and has been awarded to students majoring in economics, philosophy, finance, mathematics, liberal arts and the sciences. Since the inaugural 1969-1970 academic year, 86 exceptional students have been awarded scholarships to study at eighteen universities including Oxford, Cambridge and the London School of Economics.
George will be studying at the University of Manchester during Spring Semester 2022.
The ESU Secondary School Exchange Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship that provides tuition, room and board for U.S. and U.K. students to spend a semester or year (gap year) abroad between high school and college. Since its inception in 1928, the ESU of the United States and ESU of the Commonwealth have worked closely together to provide the scholarship opportunity for thousands of students to expand their horizons academically and culturally by studying at secondary schools in the U.S. and U.K. The oldest of all our educational programs, the SSE is at the heart of the ESU mission to use the English language to foster global understanding and goodwill through cultural and educational exchanges. Through this experience, students gain maturity, independence and global perspectives that benefit them in college and in their future careers.

In New York City, the ESU National Headquarters welcomed visiting SSE Alum and students to tea.
In partnership with Claremont McKenna College and launched with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the ESU Middle School Debate Program teaches students in grades 5-8 the fundaments of critical thinking and language arts skills through public speaking. The ESU Middle School Debate is unique in that it maximizes the learning and skill building outcomes by extensive coach and judge training and an adaptation of the parliamentary model of debate for middle-schoolers. The program reaches students at one of the most sensitive times of their development. It enhances their academic performance in language, math and science classes and builds discipline, collaboration and tolerance of different viewpoints. It appeals to both boys and girls, which are almost evenly represented in the ESU leagues.
