The recipient will provide a keynote lecture at a special one-day conference in their honor and receive a prize of $10,000 as part of the annual Callier Cares Luncheon. The Campbell Callier Prize and conference are made possible by the Foundation for the Callier Center and the David J. Bruton Jr. Charitable Trust.
