The mission of The International Churchill Society is to foster leadership, statesmanship, vision, courage and boldness among democratic and freedom-loving peoples worldwide, through the thoughts, words, works and deeds of Winston Spencer Churchill. The first Patron of the International Churchill Societies was Admiral of the Fleet The Earl Mountbatten of Burma. The Lady Soames LG DBE, Sir Winston Churchill's youngest daughter was patron until her passing in 2014. Among our original honorary members were The Baroness Clementine Spencer-Churchill; Randolph S. Churchill; The Rt. Hon. The Lord Stockton (Harold Macmillan); The Hon. W. Averell Harriman; Sir John Colville; The Rt. Hon. The Lord Soames (Christopher Soames); Sir John Martin; Anthony Montague Browne, David Cameron MP, Boris Johnson MP. In 1995, responding to an appeal by Lady Soames, over 600 people around the world became Founding Members of the Churchill Centre. Since then The International Churchill Society has been active in promoting its mission with International Churchill Conferences in various conferences around the world.
