Take a look back at an inspiring night as USGLC celebrated 30 years of partnership and impact with top officials from the Trump Administration, three U.S. senators, our nation’s most respected military leaders, and USGLC members from across the country. We honored three indispensable American communities and premier USGLC networks during our 2025 Tribute Awards Ceremony:

  • FARMERS: USDA Under Secretary Luke Lindberg led the tribute to USGLC’s Farmers for Prosperity network for “fostering global stability that keeps us safe here at home.”
  • SMALL BUSINESSES: Senator Chris Coons highlighted USGLC’s new network of Small Business Leaders, who are “making America more prosperous at home and stronger abroad.”
  • VETERANS: Admiral Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, led a powerful tribute to USGLC’s Veterans for Smart Power network for “standing up for America’s global leadership.”

We were also joined by more than a dozen other high-profile speakers, including State Department Under Secretary Jacob Helberg, DFC’s Conor Coleman, White House OMB’s Brian Cavanaugh, Global Health Bureau lead Jeff Graham, Senators Amy Klobuchar and Jacky Rosen, Reps. Jim Baird and Wesley Bell, and General Laura Richardson and Ambassador Kip Tom.
