NEW YORK | The late US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan was awarded the 2011 John P. Wallach Peacemaker Award on May 18. Seeds of Peace also honored Carlson, whose chairman was presented with the 2011 Corporate Peacemaker Award.

Kati Marton Holbrooke accepted the award on behalf of her late husband, saying “I cannot tell you how much it means to me that Richard is being honored by an organization that really embodied his core values throughout his diplomatic career.”

Several hundred philanthropists, dignitaries and community leaders attended the event at the Plaza Hotel, which raised over $1.1M for Seeds of Peace programs.
