2009 International Reflections of Hope Award Dinner Tickets Available

March 30, 2009

The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum will honor Father Alex Reid for his work engaging groups to make lasting peace in Northern Ireland with the 2009 Reflections of Hope Award®, an annual award honoring a person or organization making a difference in the midst of political chaos.

Father Reid is being honored for his life’s work in the peace process in Northern Ireland. His work was long term and behind the scenes. He brought to the Irish conflict two very important recognitions: (1) in order to have the space to initiate a peace process, you have to stop the atrocities being committed by both sides and (2) success in any peace process requires inclusion of all parties who speak for recognized clientele. His behind-the-scenes work was the thread of communication among groups helping to bring peace to this troubled land.

Father Reid will be honored at a reception and dinner on April 19, 2009, at the Skirvin Hilton Hotel, Grand Ballroom, in downtown Oklahoma City. The dinner will include remarks from special guest Ann Curry, Emmy-award winning correspondent, Today Show News anchor and Dateline anchor for NBC News.

The Reflections of Hope Award was established by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation in honor of Linda Lambert’s service to the Memorial.
