The Eleanor Roosevelt Centennial Commission was established by a joint Congressional resolution, signed by President Reagan on November 21, 1983, to commemorate nationally the centennial of the birth of Eleanor Roosevelt.

The Eleanor Roosevelt Institute was charged with coordinating policies and events for the Centennial Commission; its Chair, Trude W. Lash, was also a member of the Commission.

Goodman, Director of the New York State Office of Special Projects.
