Leadership Recognition Event

The Leadership Recognition Dinner is held annually to recognize our most generous and dedicated donors. This year we are excited to celebrate with all of you on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, following the Change of Command Ceremony. This event is by invitation only. Please note that space is limited.

This event is used to recognize individuals and organizations who have made significant gifts (or multiple gifts) and who have reached major giving thresholds ($10,000, $100,000, $250,000, $500,000, and $1,000,000+), and individuals who have joined the 1891 Society.

Highlights for this event include a State of the Academy address by the President of the Academy, and a State of the Regiment address by the outgoing Regimental Commander, among other talented speakers.

We are pleased to announce that tours of the TS Patriot State will be available to invited guests of the Leadership Recognition Dinner on a first come, first serve basis.

Flat, close-toed shoes that are secured at the heel are required while touring the ship. No flip flops, sandals, or heels.
