The David R. Gergen Lifetime Leadership in Public Service Award honors an extraordinary leader who has dedicated their career to advancing the common good through principled service. Named for David Gergen, With Honor's co-founder, a renowned public servant, advisor to presidents of both parties, and champion of public service, the award recognizes individuals whose enduring commitment, integrity, and vision have strengthened our democracy and inspired future generations to serve.

The inaugural David R. Gergen Lifetime Leadership in Public Service Award was presented this year to The Honorable Leon Panetta and Sylvia Panetta. David Gergen often spoke with admiration of the Panettas’ enduring, intergenerational commitment to service.

As the 23rd U.S. Secretary of Defense, the 3rd Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and the 18th White House Chief of Staff, Secretary Panetta has devoted his career to strengthening our nation and serving the American people. In parallel, as Co-Chair and CEO of the Panetta Institute for Public Policy, Mrs. Panetta has inspired countless young people to answer the call to service and carry forward the values of leadership and civic responsibility. Together, they represent a remarkable legacy of dedication to the public good.
