On Friday, November 9th 2012,
The American-Scottish Foundation® will
host its Wallace
Award®
Gala Dinner to celebrate the
work of the Foundation and to present the
Wallace Award® to Sir Ian Wood,
Chairman - Wood Group PLC, Ms Duncan
MacDonald, Founder - Scottish Coalition
USA, and Dr Alan L. Bain, President
Emeritus - The American-Scottish Foundation®.
The Wallace Award®
recognizes outstanding achievements of Scots
and Scottish Americans in strengthening Scottish
American relationships. Recent recipients
include: Duncan A Bruce, Lord Smith of Kelvin,
Lord Robertson of Port Ellen, Euan Baird, Senator
Trent Lott, The Forbes Family and Sir Sean Connery.
The evening will be Chaired
once again by Betty DeForest Scott
and will commemorate not only the honorees, but
also the work of the Foundation, which was
formed in 1956 by the late
Lord Malcolm Douglas-Hamilton.
Lord Malcolm recognized the
need and importance of creating a bridge
between the United States and Scotland;
fostering closer cultural, educational and
business ties through programming and
philanthropy. This mission remains as true today
as it was when the foundation was first formed.
The Wallace Award®
Gala Dinner will benefit the ongoing work of the
Foundation and also the work of the Archie
Foundation, whose mission is to support
pediatric care and children's wards in hospitals in
the North West of Scotland. Sir Ian Wood is a board
member of the charity and ASF is Archie's partner in
the United States.
