The Keystone Research Center Annual Awards Dinner, June 11th 2009
Keystone Research Center has been ahead of its time in saying that, even in the age of globalization, the economy must support and not undercut families and communities and in showing exactly how to make that happen . . . I look forward to working with KRC and using its research to lead the country back to broadly shared prosperity.
Senator Robert P. Casey Jr.
Join the Keystone Research Center at its annual awards dinner Thursday, June 11, at The Hilton Harrisburg, as KRC recognizes and celebrates the achievements of some outstanding leaders. It is a great opportunity to enjoy a good meal and the camaraderie of progressive friends and colleagues.
The evening will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a reception and cash bar. Dinner will be served at 6:30 followed by the awards program.
