If you are in contact with the VP maybe you can get him to post a message and clarify once and for all.
I am in Australia but born in US (12th generation from William of Roxbury). I have come in contact with a few Cheney's in Australia and while the general public pronounces it Chaney, all the Cheney's pronounce it Cheney with an "e". Funny as they are closer to the original English roots than the US Cheney's are and they pronounce it the same as the New England Cheney's.
