25th anniversary special recognition

The Heinz Awards

“24th”

As the Heinz Awards program marks a quarter century of honoring inspiring men and women who are impacting our world for good, the Board of Directors of the Heinz Awards has chosen to give a Special Award commemorating the 25th Anniversary to Dr. David Autor.

Dr. Autor’s body of research cuts across all categories, and closely mirrors John Heinz’s work as a U.S. Senator, especially in the realm of thinking through the policies and behaviors necessary to create an economy that can work for everyone.

There is something Pittsburgh-like about Dr. Autor’s deep, fact-based studies regarding labor and trade, education, economic security and other issues that were critically important to Senator Heinz, especially given the current economic climate. He is eminently deserving of this special recognition.
