Anthony C. Zinni and Admiral (Ret.) James G. Stavridis, were honored for their commitment to driving an integrated approach to foreign policy by the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC) at the 2017 Tribute Dinner.
Gen. Zinni, U.S. Marine Corps, and Adm. Stavridis, U.S. Navy, serve as the co-chairs of the USGLC National Security Advisory Council (NSAC).

The USGLC works in Washington, D.C. and across the country to strengthen America's civilian-led tools and defense. As part of the coalition, the USGLC brings together more than 500 businesses and non-profits from across the country to collaborate on a unified message that investment in America's tools of development and diplomacy is the smart thing to do.
