Announcing the 2025
Architect of Peace Award

The Architect of Peace Award was established in 1995 shortly after President Nixon’s death and is given to individuals who embody his lifelong goal of shaping a more peaceful world.

Inspired by Richard Nixon’s tenth and final book Beyond Peace, our annual flagship policy conference in Washington, DC, convenes policymakers from both sides of the aisle, including cabinet members, members of Congress, leading policy analysts, and respected voices in the media. Together, they discuss, debate, and craft an actionable plan for America’s leadership in the 21st century.

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the Grand Strategy Summit offers a unique opportunity to reaffirm America’s founding principles through bold strategy and pragmatic action in both domestic and foreign policy.

“The greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker.”

— Richard Nixon, First Inaugural Address, 1969
