The 24th annual event will celebrate the 75th anniversary of President Harry S. Truman’s “Year of Great Decisions,” 1948, which paved the road for lasting constitutional democracies worldwide and new freedoms here at home. Leigh and Tyler Nottberg are serving as the event chairs. Doris Kearns Goodwin will be the featured speaker, and Admiral Michelle J. Howard will be honored with the Harry S. Truman Legacy of Leadership Award. Proceeds support the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum.
