Please join us in celebrating this year’s honorees for their extraordinary public service—an embodiment of the values championed by Elliot Richardson. A beacon of integrity and principled leadership, Richardson was a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration and served in four Cabinet-level roles, including Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare; Secretary of Defense; Attorney General; and Secretary of Commerce.
The Richardson Prize recognizes individuals who exemplify the public service virtues Richardson personified. Awardees are selected for their outstanding achievements, their significant contributions to the public good, and their enduring dedication to serving the public interest. As stated in the Prize’s bylaws, recipients must demonstrate “generosity of spirit, thoughtfulness in the pursuit of excellence in government, courage, and integrity.”
Many past Prize recipients are Fellows or Honorary Fellows of the Academy. This distinguished group includes Colin Powell, Alice Rivlin, George Shultz, Norman Mineta, Sandra Day O’Connor, Lee Hamilton, Tom Kean, James Baker, George Mitchell, Robert Gates, Sheila Colleen Bair, Paul Volcker Jr., John Koskinen, William D. Ruckelshaus, Sylvia Mathews Burwell, Leon Panetta, Edmund G. Brown Jr., Dr. Francis Collins, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Admiral Thad Allen, and Governor David Beasley.
