Sam Adams Award

Annual award for intelligence professionals

Not to be confused with the Sammies, an award given by the Sam Adams Alliance.

The Sam Adams Award is given annually since 2002 to an intelligence professional who has taken a stand for integrity and ethics. The Award is granted by the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence, a group of retired CIA officers. It is named after Samuel A. Adams, a CIA whistleblower during the Vietnam War, and takes the physical form of a "corner-brightener candlestick".[1][unreliable source?]

Ray McGovern established the Sam Adams Associates "to reward intelligence officials who demonstrated a commitment to truth and integrity, no matter the consequences."[2]

The 2012, 2013,[3] and 2014 awards were presented at the Oxford Union.[2]
