Keystone Policy Center established the Keystone Leadership Awards in 1994 to recognize extraordinary leadership by individuals and organizations whose work embraces our model, spirit, and mission of creating lasting solutions through strategic collaboration. Keystone honors individuals and organizations within its areas of work as well as recognizes leaders in government and the media who create impact in the public interest.

Keystone Policy Center empowers leaders to overcome national and local policy conflicts they previously thought were insurmountable. Through a unique and innovative approach, Keystone shepherds shared-goal partners to find mutually agreeable solutions in energy, environment, education, health, agriculture, emerging genetic technologies, land management, tribal communities, and other policy areas.

Our staff are public policy and subject matter experts with extensive convening and facilitation experience. This rare combination propels conflicted groups, coalitions, and divergent leaders beyond entrenched positions to common higher ground. Keystone also trains current and emerging leaders how to harness the power of collaborative decision-making through in-person and online workshops.

In all efforts, the Keystone Policy Center maintains an unwavering position of independence, not advocating for any single position but rather providing all participants the opportunity to truly own decisions through collaboration.
