More on Reed’s open government award

September 28, 2011

As we blogged last Friday, Secretary Reed received the James Madison Award of the Washington Coalition for Open Government that morning in Seattle. The award honors Reed’s “appreciation for, and dedication to, the cause of open government since taking office,” including advocacy of accessible and accountable government, preserving and displaying public records, among other attributes.

We received fresh photos on Monday: Secretary Reed is shown above during his acceptance speech before the crowd of 100. Below he is with coalition president Toby Nixon (left) and Seattle Times publisher Frank Blethen (right), who received the Madison Award in 2010.
