After a two-year hiatus, the annual Eisenhower Legacy Gala returned on October 15, 2022, at the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, Kansas. This year’s theme, “How Ike Led,” featured keynote speaker Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of Dwight D. Eisenhower and author of How Ike Led: The Principles Behind Eisenhower’s Biggest Decisions. Gala attendees received autographed copies of the book.
The event highlighted the Eisenhower Foundation’s accomplishments over the past few years and offered a preview of upcoming initiatives. A special drawing was also held for the Foundation’s inaugural "I Like Ike Raffle," with winners John Anguiano receiving the White Glove Tour and Spencer Jorgensen winning the Historic Washington, D.C. Tour.
Additionally, retiring board members Ann Brownell Sloane and James Hagerty were honored for their years of dedicated service to the Eisenhower Foundation.
