Join us virtually as the Atlantic Council honors those who demonstrate excellence in leadership: visionary policymakers, trailblazing corporate leaders, decorated military brass, and artistic and humanitarian champions who are reshaping our global landscape.
On Thursday, April 23, 2026, the Atlantic Council Distinguished Leadership Awards will bring together an international audience of more than 600 dignitaries, heads of state, members of Congress and the administration, industry leaders, philanthropists, and the media. As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary and the Atlantic Council marks its 65th year, the Distinguished Leadership Awards takes on a renewed urgency in advancing our founding mission to shape the global future alongside partners and allies.
Confirmed honorees include Ana Botín, Executive Chair of Banco Santander, Mike Wirth, Chairman and CEO of Chevron, and Admiral Pierre Vandier, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation of NATO – with additional programmatic updates to be announced.
