Kennedy New Frontier Award | 2013-11-25 | 2013 | 2013-11 | Democrat | House | HI | Tulsi Gabbard | G000571 | gabbard.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC Today in Boston at 1:00 p.m. HST/6:00 p.m. EST, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02) will be presented with a 2013 John F. Kennedy New Frontier Award. The award will be presented by Jack Schlossberg, President John F. Kennedy's grandson and a member of the New Frontier Award Committee, during a ceremony at the Institute of Politics at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government. It is truly humbling to receive this honor, as the message and example of servant leadership set by President Kennedy is one I hold close and which continues to inspire me and an entire generation, said Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. As we reflect on President Kennedy's call to service, we understand his indelible mark on the American people, past, present and future, and will forever remember his dedication to public service and working for the greater good. I will continue to strive to uphold his example of servant leadership and honor his life and sacrifice in my service to the people of Hawaii and our nation. Background: The John F. Kennedy New Frontier Awards were created by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation and the Harvard Institute of Politics to honor Americans under the age of 40 who are changing their communities and the country with their commitment to public service. The awards are presented annually to two exceptional individuals whose contributions in elective office, community service, or advocacy demonstrate the impact and the value of public service in the spirit of John F. Kennedy. One of the two annual New Frontier Awards honors an elected official whose work demonstrates the importance of elective service as a way to address a public challenge or challenges. This award, called the Fenn Award, is presented to a young elected official in honor of Dan Fenn, the Kennedy Library's first director and a former member of President Kennedy's staff. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard will receive the Fenn Award. The second John F. Kennedy New Frontier Award will be given to Charles Best, founder and CEO of DonorsChoose.org, an online charity that enables individuals to provide direct support to teachers and students in public schools. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
