LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN & THE PRESIDENT AND CEO Dear Friends, Thank you for joining the Atlantic Council’s 2022 Distinguished Leadership Awards. We gather this evening at a pivotal moment for the Atlantic Council and our global community.
Italy’s significant role in Europe and beyond, in addition to Prime Minister Draghi’s previous accomplishments as President of the European Central Bank.
As Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to escalate his brutal war against Ukraine, we are witnessing both the largest mobilization of military forces and the fastest growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II. We mourn the reckless and unnecessary loss of life as Ukrainians defend their country made up of people – who only want peace, stability, and the right to decide their future.
We will also present Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni, with our Distinguished Business Leadership Award in recognition of the bold steps Eni has taken towards a greener future.
These threats run counter to the foundational mission of the Atlantic Council: galvanizing constructive US leadership alongside partners and allies to shape the global future. Set against this backdrop, the Atlantic Council has never been more robust operationally, substantively, or financially in our 60-year history. This comes at a time when our work has never been more crucial in the face of complex, daunting, and worldwide challenges as we enter the third calendar year of the COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying economic, societal, and political dislocation.
Finally, on behalf of Ukrainian artists, we will present our Distinguished Artistic Leadership Award to Jamala, Singer-songwriter and the winner of Eurovision song contest 2016, for preserving and protecting Ukrainian culture and identity throughout the Russian invasion of their country. In addition to this salute, we are privileged to honor the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people with a special award in recognition of their historic resistance amid this turbulent moment for Ukraine. We are deeply grateful to this evening’s Co-Chairs, the Atlantic Council’s Board of Directors, the International Advisory Board, and other generous friends and partners who have made tonight – and, indeed, all of our work – possible. Thank you for being with us this evening.
This situation – one of increased Atlantic Council health and heightened global uncertainty – demands that we lift our ambitions in 2022 to tackle what has been at the heart of our mission since our founding in 1961. In that spirit, we are delighted to celebrate tonight’s distinguished honorees whose leadership is required for this inflection point for our global community. We will bestow His Excellency Mario Draghi, President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic, with our Distinguished International Leadership Award for his leadership of Italy as it continues to navigate the many challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, and for his efforts to solidify
Onward and upward,

Jamala D I S T I N G U I S H E D A R T I S T I C L E A D E R S H I P AWA R D Jamala is a Ukrainian singer-songwriter and actress. Her music blends soul, jazz, electronica and pop genres beautifully and smoothly. Her sound and her live performance are the hallmark of Ukraine’s contemporary music scene. The singer started her career at the age of nine, recording an album of songs for children. She has graduated from the National Music Academy named after Tchaikovsky in Kyiv, majoring in opera singing. Jamala was going to make a career in classical music, however her stunning victory at the International Contest of young singers The New Wave festival (2009), changed her path. Since her debut album For Every Heart (2011), she has never stopped experimenting with her sound, opening herself up to the listener anew each time. So far, she has released 7 studio albums, a number of EPs and singles, all of them inspired by her personal feelings and experiences. Whether it’s a song with DakhaBrakha, a collaboration with Brian Todd or a soundtrack to the movie Mr. Jones. Her triumph at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest further reinforced this position. She brought her victory to Ukraine with her song 1944 — a personal story inspired by her great-grandmother, who lost a child during the deportation of the Crimean Tatars. Upon winning the contest, she was given the People’s Artist of Ukraine. Among the singer’s awards are Ukrainian National Award Person of the Year (2009), the ELLE Style Award (2010, 2012) and numerous awards for her music at YUNA Music Award (2016, 2017, 2019). After Russia invaded Ukraine, Jamala became the voice of the Ukrainian people outside her homeland. Once she evacuated her children, the singer started to fight for victory on her own front. Day by day, country by country, she takes part in charity events, concerts and TV shows, raising funds for refugees, children and the Ukrainian army.

The People of Ukraine D I S T I N G U I S H E D L E A D E R S H I P AWA R D What makes a nation? Heroes who fight for it, families who love it, and leaders who serve it. Confronting war, terror, and cruelty from the darkest catalogue of human crime, the Ukrainian people have responded with defiance, hope, and courage that have called an awestruck world to action. The Atlantic Council stands with these heroes—mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, young and old, living and lost—today and in the days to come. Along with the rest of the world we join in their proud refrain: Slava Ukrayini! Heroyam Slava! “Glory to Ukraine! Glory to its heroes!” We mourn those who have fallen and honor those bearing the battle in defense of a country whose people only want peace, stability, and the right to decide their future. Russia’s war is targeting not only Ukraine’s civilians and sovereignty, but also the freedoms and values that the Atlantic Council was established to defend. This is a defining moment of history, and we in the Atlantic Council community will do our part to shape a better future and deliver on our founding purpose.

MADELEINE ALBRIGHT 1937 — 2022 We mourn the recent passing of Madeleine Albright. A tireless advocate for democratic values and a thriving transatlantic community, Secretary Albright used her unparalleled diplomatic savvy to advance freedom, prosperity, and peace around the world. As the first woman to serve as US secretary of state, she inspired generations of women and girls globally. Secretary Albright was a member of the Atlantic Council’s International Advisory Board and made innumerable contributions to our organization, including co-chairing projects that ranged in focus from the future of the Middle East to a transatlantic approach to Afghanistan. Everyone in the Atlantic Council community benefited from Secretary Albright’s wisdom, and her presence will be deeply missed. Below is a brief selection of remembrances from Atlantic Council staff and board members.
In her travels with the Atlantic Council around the world, she inspired women determined to make a difference in the world and democracy advocates of all stripes. FREDERICK KEMPE
Atlantic Council President and CEO
To travel with her from Prague to Kosovo was to understand what she meant to those who savored their new freedom and independence and labored to build nascent democracies. MELANNE VERVEER
Former US ambassador-at-large for global women’s issues; Atlantic Council Board Member
As an immigrant, her gratitude to America combined with her service to the principles of freedom and her conviction that the malign events of twentieth-century history not be repeated. HENRY A. KISSINGER Former US Secretary of State; Atlantic Council Board Member
She was a role model and an inspiration for me and many women in foreign policy, always brilliant and passionate in a striking combination. ANNA WIESLANDER
Atlantic Council director for Northern Europe
For decades, she was the indispensable American standing up for democracy and freedom. CARL BILDT
Former Prime Minister of Sweden; Atlantic Council International Advisory Board Member
