US State Department
With the increasingly prevalent global challenges posed by terrorism, international trade, energy security, climate change, and civil conflict, the Academy is pleased to announce that its 2007 Annual Awards Luncheon will focus on what can be done to strengthen American diplomacy to meet these challenges. The Academy and R. Nicholas Burns, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, will host the Luncheon on December 5 at the US Department of State in the Benjamin Franklin Room. Senator Chuck Hagel will deliver the keynote speech, and the Academy will announce this year’s winners of the Walter and Leonore Annenberg Award for Excellence in Diplomacy, the Arthur Ross Award for Distinguished Reporting & Analysis of Foreign Affairs, and the Douglas Dillon Award for a Book of Distinction on the Practice of American Diplomacy.
The American Academy of Diplomacy annually grants these awards to recognize major contributions to the field of diplomacy, and to stimulate further research on and public understanding of the need for excellence in the practice of American diplomacy.
