The 2014 Tribute Dinner

Dear Hunter,

I had to laugh when someone dubbed our annual
Tribute Dinner the "Smart Power Prom," but I certainly was thrilled to
see nearly 900 power players join us to honor three extraordinary
Americans: Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA), and
USAID Administrator Raj Shah.

Watch the Highlights

Here are some of my favorite highlights:

*
Bipartisan Leadership. Senator
Lindsey Graham (R-SC) paid tribute to Raj Shah, and said that
when he takes the helm of the State-Foreign Ops Subcommittee
next year, he will "make this account (International
Affairs) the cool place to be."

*
Military Might. One of the most
powerful messages of the evening was sent by Lt. General Kip
Ward (Ret.), representing 160 retired flag officers, when he
stated, "Cutting foreign aid puts America's security at risk."

*
Breathtaking. The Amani
Children's Choir from Uganda singing America the Beautiful was a
show-stopper and an important reminder of why we were all
gathered.

It was a spectacular evening, and I thank all of those who joined us.
For those who missed it, don't worry - there's always
2015.
