BENS will present the 2025 Eisenhower Award to Conway and Cotton in recognition of their exceptional leadership in advancing U.S. defense and security.
William Conway
The private sector plays a key role in driving innovation and advancing the development of technological capabilities needed to defend U.S. interests against domestic and international threats.
Through his decades of leadership at Carlyle, Conway has helped develop and sustain the industrial and economic engines that support U.S. national security.
Gen. Anthony Cotton
Visionary leadership, commitment to national defense and steadfast resolve are needed to ensure U.S. security in today’s evolving security landscape. These are some qualities that Cotton exemplifies as he leads the 41,000 service members and civilians tasked with preserving U.S. strategic deterrence.
