Heritage Foundation Leadership for America

SPECIAL EVENTS

Ann Bula, Director

In December 1997, Heritage embarked on a two-year celebration of its 25^th anniversary. It was an opportunity to build for the future with an $85 million fund-raising campaign that raised more than $100 million, securing Heritage?s position as a permanent voice for conservatism in the nation?s capital. It was also a time for serious discussion of ideas. Throughout 1998 and 1999, all across the country, Heritage hosted 17 lectures by some of the leading men and women of ideas who spoke on the principles of conservatism.

The Special Events staff is building on the success of the 25th Anniversary celebration by coordinating many of the lectures and regional meetings of The Heritage Foundation. They also work closely with Public Relations, Development, External Relations, and Heritage experts to coordinate Host Committee gatherings, donor briefings, policy luncheons, editorial board meetings, and speaking engagements for our experts in each location.
