William Jefferson Clinton, 42nd President of the United States of America and founder of the William J. Clinton Foundation, was the first Democratic president in six decades to be elected twice—first in 1992 and then in 1996. Under his leadership, the country enjoyed the strongest economy in a generation and the longest economic expansion in United States' history, including the creation of more than 22 million jobs.


In addition his Foundation work, President Clinton has joined with former President George H.W. Bush three times—after the 2004 tsunami in South Asia, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and Hurricane Ike in 2008—to help raise money for recovery efforts, and also served as the United Nations Envoy for Tsunami Recovery.

Building on his longstanding commitment to Haiti during his time as President, and through his Foundation, President Clinton was named United Nations Special Envoy for Haiti in 2009 to assist the government and the people of Haiti as they “build back better” after a series of hurricanes battered the country in 2008. Following this year’s devastating earthquake, President Clinton dedicated Clinton Foundation resources to help with immediate and long term relief and assistance, and at the request of President Obama, President Clinton joined with President George W. Bush to establish the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, which supports highly effective organizations on the ground in long-term rebuilding efforts. Additionally, President Clinton serves as cochair of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission with Prime Minister Bellerive.
