Former US Secretary of State, George P. Shultz, who celebrated his 100th birthday on December 13, 2020, holds the first annual "Voices Youth Award" named in his honor and also in honor of Mikhail Gorbachev, former president of the USSR. It will be presented to youth activist Kehkashan Basu of Toronto, Canada.
As Founder and President of URI, I would like to build on former Secretary of State George Shultz's testimony to the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services to say a little more about our mission.
