PRESS RELEASE

August 23, 2009

Clan Cunningham International Unites World Members 
 

Welcoming Cunningham descendants from around the world, the Board of Directors of Clan Cunningham USA has unanimously voted to change the name of its organization to Clan Cunningham International (CCI). The change is effective immediately. The Board considered the resolution after consultations with the Court of the Lord Lyon, members of The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs, several Cunningham armigers and interested Cunninghams outside the United States. The two leading candidates for Chief (family head) of Clan Cunningham have also endorsed this new venture.  
 

 “It is exciting to be part of a growing and vibrant Clan Cunningham organization that is forward thinking and always looking to promote our shared heritage,” said David Pickens, President of Clan Cunningham International.   
 

During the Clan’s recent trip to The Gathering in Scotland, it became clear that Cunninghams living outside the United States wanted to see the current organization expand to include a wider audience. As a result, Clan Cunningham International was born.  
 

“The quickest vehicle to accomplish this request was a Board Resolution to change our name to welcome international members. It will give members of Clan Cunningham anywhere in the world an organization to join in celebration of our great heritage. It will also allow our genealogical base to grow and cover Cunningham lines from around the globe,” said Steve Cunningham, Vice President of Clan Cunningham International.  Steve Cunningham was in charge of studying the proposal and made the recommendation to the Board.   
 

Key Scottish leaders, both at home and abroad, have endorsed the former Clan Cunningham USA as the preeminent Cunningham organization needed to lead Clan Cunningham to an international level. CCI has; therefore, adopted a By-Laws Committee for the purpose of transitioning the organization from a national to international platform. Members of the committee will include members of the new Clan Cunningham International (CCI, formerly CCUSA), members of the Clan Cunningham Society of America (CCSA), and Cunningham armigers from England and Scotland.  
 

Clan Cunningham International welcomes all Cunningham descendants and friends to join this new and exiting organization.  For more information, please contact clancunninghamintl@gmail.com
