Acton Alumni: Changing the World

Over the last 20 years, Acton Institute has worked to discover, cultivate, and encourage current and future business leaders and cultural influencers. Last week's 20th Anniversary Dinner gave testimony to two decades of great effort. It is often easy to recognize current leaders like Kate O'Beirne(MC for the evening) and Richard M. DeVos (recipient of the 2010 Faith and Freedom award) but the future leaders are often less obvious to the untrained eye.
