Save the Date: Acton Institute 36th Annual Dinner
Join the Acton Institute for the 2026 Annual Dinner, an evening dedicated to celebrating the leaders, ideas, and institutions that sustain a free and virtuous society.
This year, we are pleased to welcome Bradley J. Birzer, Ph.D., as our keynote speaker. A distinguished scholar, author, and teacher, Dr. Birzer will offer a thoughtful reflection on the moral and cultural foundations necessary for liberty to endure.
The Acton Institute is also honored to present the 2026 Guardian of Freedom Award to Rev. Ren Broekhuizen and Elsa Prince Broekhuizen. Established in 2009 in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Guardian of Freedom Award recognizes leaders who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to liberty and who have dedicated their professional lives to advancing the principles of freedom for subsequent generations.
Whether you are a longtime supporter or new to our mission, the Annual Dinner offers an inspiring opportunity to connect with leaders in business, policy, education, and ministry who share a commitment to human dignity, ordered liberty, and the free and virtuous society.
