Dear Members of the Truman Center and Truman National Security Project
Boards:

I am pleased to invite you to our second annual Truman Awards Dinner
<http://trumanproject.org/home/2017-awards-dinner/>, which will take place
on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 from 6PM - 9PM at the St. Regis Hotel in
Washington, DC. This year, we are thrilled to present the Edmund S. Muskie
Distinguished Public Service Award to the Honorable Ray Mabus
<http://trumanproject.org/home/2017-honorees/>.

This prestigious award celebrates individuals with a commitment to public
service and leadership in public policy. Mabus will be recognized for his
distinguished career in the public sector, including his time as the
longest-serving Secretary of the Navy and Marine Corps since World War I.
During his tenure, he demonstrated a strong dedication to many of our
community's values, particularly his commitment to meeting the operational
energy challenges facing the Department of Defense through innovation and
renewables.

As many of you know, this dinner is a cornerstone fundraising event for us,
and we hope to build on the success of last year's inaugural event. I hope
you will take a look at the sponsorship information
<http://trumanproject.org/home/sponsorship-opportunities/> and consider
supporting the dinner. I also encourage you to use this dinner as an
opportunity to engage your networks and introduce them to the world of
Truman.

I look forward to updating you as our other awardees are announced in the
coming weeks. In the meantime, please consider sponsoring the event
<http://trumanproject.org/home/sponsorship-opportunities/>, and feel free
to reach out our Corporate Relations Manager, Frida Gadzhimirzaeva (
[email-masked] or at 202-216-9723 x2301) should you need any
additional information.

Thank you as always for your leadership, and I hope to see you in
September!

Respectfully,

Jenn
