The ICON Awards Gala -
An Evening of Leadership, Legacy & Impact

Step into an unforgettable evening of prestige and purpose at the ICON Awards
Gala, where we honor Members of Congress who have been steadfast champions
of Congressional Energy Engagement Foundation nuclear energy mission on Capitol Hill.

This exclusive event brings together distinguished leaders, policymakers, and
industry visionaries to celebrate progress and America’s leadership in clean, secure
and prosperous energy solutions.

Quick Facts

Who

Presented by the Congressional Energy Engagement Foundation (CEEF), in partnership with Congressional Energy Engagement, LLC (CEE), this
event highlights the critical role of congressional leadership in shaping the national and global nuclear energy landscape.

What

The ICON Awards specifically honor legislators who have worked to bridge the gap between Congress, industry, national labs, the administration,
nuclear developers, educational institutions, global energy think tanks, and U.S. allies through OUR work.

When

The inaugural ICON Awards Gala will take place on June 5th, 2025. The evening will commence with a VIP Reception from 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM,
followed by an elegant dinner and awards ceremony at 7:45 PM. The night is set to be hosted at an exclusive private club in Maryland, while specific location will be revealed upon sponsorship confirmation.

Why

At CEEF we believe that “Human achievement is inseperable from human interaction”. As the only organization dedicated exclusively to facilitating these high-impact connections and ‘rooms of engagement’, we cultivate the right relationships necessary to drive real progress in nuclear energy and national energy security.

Esteemed Speakers

Set against an elegant backdrop, the evening plans to feature special invited speakers including:

Secretary Chris Wright

U.S. Department of Energy

Chairman David Wright

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commision

Ted Garrish

Former DOE Official & International Nuclear Advocate

Brandon Williams

Our Honorees

The ICON Awards Gala proudly recognizes Members of Congress who have
demonstrated outstanding commitment to advancing the mission of CEEF. While
some honorees hold nuclear energy, national security, or infrastructure priorities
within their legislative portfolios, others have shown exceptional leadership in
supporting nuclear energy more broadly.

Whether through direct policy work or by influencing their colleagues, fostering bipartisan understanding, or championing clean energy solutions, each honoree has played a vital role in helping nuclear energy gain the recognition it deserves as a cornerstone of America’s energy future through OUR work. These individuals exemplify what it means to be an ICON—a trusted voice, connector, and advocate for energy security and innovation.
