Governor Wes Moore to Receive the Louis E. Martin Great American Award

The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies is honored to present our highest honor — the Louis E. Martin Great American Award — to Governor Wes Moore (D-MD).

This special and intimate gathering in Washington, DC, will recognize Governor Moore’s leadership and lasting contributions to our nation.

The program will also feature an exclusive policy discussion with distinguished panelists, including Shalanda Young, 43rd Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget; Rey Ramsey, President and CEO of Nathan Cummings Foundation; and Dedrick Asante-Muhammad, President of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, who will serve as the moderator. The conversation will highlight how states — particularly Maryland — are meeting this moment through innovative approaches to governance that safeguard vulnerable communities, respond to federal funding cuts, and invest in the next generation of leaders.
