The Chair of the McConnell Center is Dr. Gary L. Gregg II and alumni include J. Scott Jennings. The Center's non-resident fellows include Dr. Barbara A. Perry. In November 2020, the wife of Judge Gregory F. Van Tatenhove, who had been a legislative aide of Senator Mitch McConnell, donated $250,000 to the McConnell Center. (en)
