(ASHLAND, OHIO) — Vivek Ramaswamy, American business leader and bestselling author, will be the keynote speaker at the 2024 John M. Ashbrook Memorial Dinner.
This special event marks the 40th anniversary of the Ashbrook Center, which was inaugurated by President Ronald Reagan at the first John M. Ashbrook Memorial Dinner in 1983. Over the years, the event has featured prominent public figures including President George H.W. Bush, Lady Margaret Thatcher, and Justice Clarence Thomas, among others.
Vivek Ramaswamy, known for his insightful commentary and sharp analysis, is the author of Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam and Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence. His thought-provoking work has garnered attention across the political spectrum.
The John M. Ashbrook Memorial Dinner is a scholarship fundraising event supporting undergraduate students in the Ashbrook Scholar Program—a program that aims to cultivate the knowledge, character, and judgment necessary for good leadership in a constitutional republic. Ashbrook Scholars will have the opportunity to engage Mr. Ramaswamy in a private, off-the-record conversation, as per tradition.
"We are thrilled to welcome Vivek Ramaswamy as the keynote speaker for this year's John M. Ashbrook Memorial Dinner," said Jeffrey Sikkenga, Executive Director of the Ashbrook Center. "His unique perspective and insights into the cultural and political landscape will undoubtedly spark meaningful dialogue and inspire the next generation of leaders."
