2009 Trumpeter Awards: National Consumers League to Honor Labor Secretary Solis, CBS News' Kroft Tonight on Capitol Hill - Media Welcome
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Consumers League will honor United States Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis and award-winning journalist Steve Kroft with its highest honor, the Trumpeter Award, tonight on Capitol Hill. The Trumpeter Awards Dinner and Reception will bring together a diverse group of representatives of labor unions, advocates, legislators, organizations, and industries touched by the two advocates' esteemed careers. The advocacy organization, which honored Senator Edward Kennedy with its first Trumpeter award in 1973, has recognized leaders who are not afraid to speak out for social justice and for the rights of consumers and workers for more than 30 years.
"The Trumpeter Award is NCL's highest honor, given to leaders who are not afraid to speak out for social justice and for the rights of consumers. No one fits that description better than Hilda Solis and Steve Kroft," said NCL Executive Director Sally Greenberg. "Solis' dedication to improving the quality of life for workers in the United States, and Kroft's dedication to consumer-minded investigative journalism have earned them this year's Trumpeter Award."
NCL will also celebrate the career of San Francisco business journalist Lynn Jimenez with its Florence Kelley Consumer Leadership Award, an honor named for NCL's first general secretary that is given to grassroots leaders in consumer education.
The Trumpeter event will feature a reception, dinner, and speaking appearances by the three honorees, as well as:
Larry Cohen, President, Communications Workers of America
