The English-Speaking Union of the United States is proud to announce the election of Dr. Quinn Peeper as Chairman. Dr. Peeper was voted in on October 17th, succeeding Ambassador Dr. Paul Beresford-Hill CBE upon the completion of his 6-year tenure.

Dr. Peeper has conducted clinical research on a range of gynecological and obstetrics issues in hospitals in New York City, Oxford, England, and Lexington, Virginia. He has published several major research articles in peer-reviewed medical journals, including The American Journal of Perinatology and American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Dr. Peeper is also a classically-trained pianist. He won a competition at the Istituto Musicale Nicola Vaccaj in Italy and has performed in concerts around the world including twice at New York's Carnegie Hall.

Dr. Peeper is a generous donor to a number of causes. He sits on the Boards of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and The Pirate's Alley William Faulkner Society. He is a member of The Most Venerable Order of St. John of Jerusalem, the Shakespeare Society of New Orleans, and the Jane Austen Society of North America, among a host of other associations. He also notably served on the Board of the Shakespeare Festival at Tulane, Tulane University, as well as at the Christ Church Cathedral.

He is a long-time activist and supporter of the English-Speaking Union of the United States. He was elected President in 2014, after having served as President of its New Orleans Branch between 2002 and 2012. As President of the National Board of Directors, he has led the organization's fundraising efforts and has provided guidance to its educational programs and charitable activities.

Dr. Peeper and his husband, Mr. Michael Harold, are major ESU benefactors who, in addition to their generous annual donations, have made several major contributions that leveraged the largest grant ESU has ever received to inaugurate the Andrew Romay New Immigrant Center.

To honor his contributions toward promoting US-British relations, Dr. Quinn Peeper was named Honorary British Consul for Louisiana.

And, in gratitude for his contributions to the English-Speaking Union in its larger global setting in 2020, he was awarded the inaugural Princess Royal Award.
