The Annual Visionary Awards Benefit

Each year, the Council for Economic Education gathers with industry colleagues, advocates, and friends for a festive and illuminating evening to honor extraordinary leaders who promote economic and financial literacy to create a better-informed society. A highlight of the evening, our award winners offer attendees a fireside chat on the state of the economy and thoughts on the future.

In addition to naming recipients of the prestigious Visionary Award, CEE announces the winners of the Barry G. Haimes Award for Excellence in Teaching that honors excellence in teaching economics and personal finance.

CEE’s signature fundraising event, the Annual Visionary Awards Benefit is also an opportunity to come together as a community and thank our generous sponsors and corporate partners for making our essential work possible.

Our work directly impacts the teaching of thousands of teachers and millions of students each year. All proceeds support the Council for Economic Education’s programming and outreach in support of its mission.

2022’s Honorees were Thasunda Brown Ducket, President and CEO, TIAA, Claudia Goldin, Henry Lee Professor of Economics, Harvard University, and Barbara G. Novick, Co-Founder and Former Vice Chairman, BlackRock.
