Program-only tickets are now available for “Founders Day: An Evening with Brian Williams,” a special event bringing Emmy Award-winning journalist Brian Williams to the Indiana Historical Society.
The event takes place Tuesday, October 24, at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, located at 450 W. Ohio St. in Indianapolis. The program will take place at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are now available for that portion of the evening for $75.
Williams is a 40-year veteran of television news, and over the course of his career he has covered everything from political conventions and Presidential elections to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, conflict in the Middle East, natural disasters, and countless mass-casualty tragedies in the United States and abroad. He has traveled to more than two dozen countries and interviewed six American Presidents.
His work has been rewarded with a dozen Emmy Awards, 11 Edward R. Murrow awards, the DuPont-Columbia award, the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism, and the industry’s highest honor — the George Foster Peabody Award, which he received for his extensive coverage of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.
A limited number of tickets for the full evening, which includes the program and a dessert reception, are still available for $150. All ticket types are available for purchase at https://rb.gy/u3jh6. All proceeds benefit the education programs and services of the Indiana Historical Society. For more information, contact Kimberly Rohl at krohl@indianahistory.org.
