Introducing The 1995 Society

The 1995 Society celebrates the bold and brave contributions of today’s rising leaders working toward a more free and prosperous nation. This year, America’s Future will induct three people under the age of 40 into our 1995 Society. These honorees are the best, brightest, and bravest rising stars.

America’s Future will gather recommendations from across our network and will submit finalists to a panel of judges who will determine the three inductees in the following categories:
