Bryce Harlow Foundation Award Dinner Highlights

The 28th Annual Bryce Harlow Award Dinner, held April 29 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Capitol Hill, brought together a lively crowd of over 400 government relations professionals.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer was recognized as the recipient of the Bryce Harlow Award and Ken Duberstein was honored with the Business-Government Relations Award. Former Majority Leader Dick Gephardt and Former Trade Ambassador Susan Schwab contributed remarks that reminded the audience of the importance of celebrating colleagues today who contribute to the business-government relationship and who practice their profession with the same level of integrity that Bryce Harlow did many years ago.

The twenty 2008-2009 Bryce Harlow Fellows were also recognized for their exemplary accomplishments. Board member Nels Olson served as dinner chair and with the help of the government relations community in Washington, DC, the dinner raised considerable funds to ensure even more fellows will be chosen in future years.
