Our Honorees

The ICON Awards Reception Celebration proudly recognizes Members of Congress who have
demonstrated outstanding commitment to advancing the mission of CEEF. While
some honorees hold nuclear energy, national security, or infrastructure priorities
within their legislative portfolios, others have shown exceptional leadership in
supporting nuclear energy more broadly.

Whether through fostering bipartisan understanding, or championing clean energy solutions, each honoree has played a vital role in helping nuclear energy gain the recognition it deserves as a cornerstone of America’s energy future through OUR work. These individuals exemplify what it means to be an ICON—a trusted voice, connector, and advocate for energy security and innovation.
