The American Academy of Achievement, colloquially known as the Academy of

Achievement, is a non-profit educational organization that recognizes some of the
highest achieving individuals in diverse fields [1] and gives them the opportunity to meet
one another.[2] The academy also brings together the leaders with promising graduate
students for mentorship.[3][4] The academy hosts an International Achievement Summit,
which ends with an awards ceremony, during which new members are inducted into the
academy.[1][5][6]

History[edit]
Chuck Berry presenting Golden Plate Award to Bob Dylan - 2003 Academy of Achievement Summit - DC
Founded in 1961 by Sports Illustrated and LIFE magazine photographer Brian

Reynolds, the Academy of Achievement recognizes the highest achievers in public
service, business, science and exploration, sports and the arts. [4][7] Reynolds established
the academy after he realized that the famous people he photographed from different
fields did not usually have the opportunity to interact with one another. The organization
was described in a 1989 San Francisco Chronicle article as “little-publicized but
immensely powerful." According to William DeVries, who helped develop the first
artificial heart, “It is a social network. Like a club. Now I can call Chuck Yeager up,
or Philip 'Bo' Knight and they'll return my calls, ask me out places. I promised myself I
would never ask the people here for money, but I know a lot of scientists who
do.”[2] Reynolds also wanted to bring together highly accomplished leaders with
promising students in order to inspire them. [8][9] At the 1990 summit in Chicago, for
example, student delegates “rubbed shoulders” with Ronald Reagan, Maya
Angelou and Michael Jordan,[10] and in 1995, top students met with inductees
including George H. W. Bush, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Lady Bird Johnson, Robin
Williams, Mike Krzyzewski and Rosa Parks.[11]
Academy members and summit attendees have also included “Jimmy Carter, Ronald
Reagan ...Colin Powell ...Maya Lin, Barbra Streisand, Mikhail Gorbachev, Steven
Spielberg [and] George Lucas.”[12] In 2005, the Washington Post described the event as
“one of the world’s most dazzling gatherings of international celebrities - Nobel Prize
winners, heads of state, star athletes, titans of industry, scientists and entertainers.” [13]
In 1985, Reynolds' son, Wayne Reynolds, took over the leadership, becoming the
executive director of the academy[2] and, in 1999, was selected as the board chairman.[1][7]
[14]
In the 1990s, Reynolds moved the organization from Malibu, California, to its new
foundation headquarters building in Washington, D.C.[15]
In 2007, the Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation donated $9 million to the academy. [15][14][16]

International Achievement Summit in Los Angeles
2012 Aretha Franklin is joined onstage by Academy Awards Council member General Colin Powell during her
performance to close the evening of the 50th annual Banquet of the Golden Plate ceremonies in Washington,
D.C.
The annual summit is attended by graduate students and young innovators from the
U.S. and overseas, like Sergey Brin and Larry Page, computer science graduate
students who later founded Google.[18][19] The summits were originally attended by high
school students chosen based on their academic achievement and extracurricular
activities.[1] Preceding the awards dinner are three days of panels, presentations and
informal dialogues between the students and inductees. Many inductees return multiple
years to participate in the panels, programming and networking. [20]
On September 9, 1961, the academy hosted its first International Achievement Summit.
[2]
The summit, held in Monterey, California,[21] included a "Banquet of the Golden
Plate" award ceremony, named for the gold plate service used for special occasions by
the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, which provided the service for the
ceremony. Physicist Edward Teller was the keynote speaker, and warned of the United
States' poor performance in the atomic arms race. Awardees at the inaugural ceremony
also included engineers Charles Stark Draper and Kelly Johnson, General Douglas
MacArthur and film director William Wyler.[2][22] Other attendees at the inaugural banquet
included Nobel laureate Willard Libby (Chemistry 1960) and future Nobel laureate Luis
Walter Alvarez (Physics 1968).[23] The first honorees were chosen by a national board of
governors, but subsequent honorees have been selected by the Golden Plate Awards
Council, which consists of prior Academy awardees.[21][22][24]
At the 13th annual summit, held in June 1974 in Salt Lake City, Academy member Leon
Jaworski, the Special Prosecutor overseeing the Watergate investigations at the time,
said in his keynote address that he expected to win a Supreme Court case to get
subpoenaed tapes from President Richard Nixon.[25] Among the awardees at the summit
were actor James Stewart, professional athlete John Havlicek,[26] and Nobel Laureate
chemist Paul Flory.[27]
The 25th annual American Academy of Achievement Summit took place in 1986
in Washington, D.C.[28] The ceremony was addressed by former inductees Chuck
Yeager and Erma Bombeck, and was attended by a group of 390 high school graduates
assembled from across the United States.[28] New members admitted to the academy at
the event included boxer Muhammad Ali,[28] filmmaker Steven Spielberg, Nobel
Prize laureate Isidor Isaac Rabi,[28] opera singer Leontyne Price,[28] and country
singer Loretta Lynn,[28][29] the first country music artist ever admitted into the academy. [29]
The 2002 summit was held in Dublin, and was hosted by then-Taoiseach (prime
minister) and inductee Bertie Ahern. Former President Bill Clinton held private talks
during the summit with Irish nationalist politician John Hume that reportedly concerned
the conflict in Northern Ireland as well as other international conflicts. [30] New inductees
into the academy in 2002 included Clinton, U2 lead singer Bono,[31] and Afghan
president Hamid Karzai.[30]
The 50th anniversary American Academy of Achievement Summit was held
in Washington D.C., in October 2012, and was attended by delegates from 29 countries.
[32]
The five-day event included a dinner at the Supreme Court of the United States,
where members were joined by four of the justices. [32] Newly inducted academy
members who spoke at the meeting included then-United States Secretary of
Defense Leon Panetta and Nobel Prize winners Roger Tsien and Adam Riess.[32][33]
The 2021 awards ceremony took place in Los Angeles on December 23. Among the
awardees was Katalin Karikó,[34] a biochemist whose research with Dr. Drew
Weissman underpins the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.[35]
