Join one of the Founders of The Jefferson Awards, Sam Beard, as he delves into this prestigious national recognition system honoring community and public service in America. Learn how over 20 corporations such as Deloitte, PG&E, Macy's and Wells Fargo successfully use The Jefferson Awards to recognize employee volunteers nationwide.

In 1972, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, U.S. Senator Robert Taft, Jr. and Sam Beard founded the American Institute for Public Service, a 501c3 public foundation, to establish a Nobel Prize for public and community service - The Jefferson Awards. The Jefferson Awards are presented on two levels: national and local. National award recipients represent a "Who's Who" of outstanding Americans. On the local level, Jefferson Awards recipients are ordinary people who do extraordinary things without expectation of recognition or reward. We hope to see you there! Don’t miss out! RSVP now for this exclusive online event from AngelPoints!
