Each year, the Research Council hosts a fundraising dinner that brings together elected officials, corporate executives, and community leaders to recognize the importance of our work and honor an outstanding Michigan leader.

This year, Citizens Research Council is delighted to honor two exceptional individuals with the prestigious Eugene A. Gargaro Public Service Award in recognition of his public service and commitment to civic engagement: Former U.S. Representatives Dan Kildee and Fred Upton of Michigan.
