ANNUAL AWARDS

CSPC gives one of four awards: the Publius Award, for leadership and bipartisanship in government; the Eisenhower Award, for leadership in national security affairs; the Hamilton Award, for economic or fiscal leadership; and the Thurgood Marshall Award, for champions of equality and justice.
