On July 13, 2018, CMF honored our inaugural Democracy Awards winners and finalists:
The Congressional Management Foundation created a distinctive honors program – the Democracy Awards – to recognize non-legislative achievement and performance in congressional offices and by Members of Congress in order to highlight what's working well in Congress.
"This designation exemplifies some of the best congressional talent in our representative democracy. Each of these individuals has made and upheld a significant commitment as a public servant to do what is best for their constituents," said CMF President Bradford Fitch. "Each of these Democracy Award winners and their staff model the public service we hope to see among every Member of Congress as they restore trust and faith that our democratic institutions can work," he said.
Congratulations to our 2018 winners, who have all demonstrated an exemplary commitment to public service.
