Consumer Action is celebrating its 53rd anniversary with the theme “Empowering Consumers: Fairness, Transparency, Accountability.” We are celebrating this milestone at our anniversary reception on November 13, 2024, from 6-8 p.m., at the AT&T Forum for Technology, Entertainment and Policy, in Washington, D.C.

We will present Consumer Excellence Awards to these champions in consumer protection, advocacy and education: the Federal Trade Commission, the National Consumer Law Center, and the Prince George’s Community College Financial Empowerment Center. We will also present Special Recognition Awards to Consumer Action champions in the corporate sector: Mark Espinoza, senior director of corporate affairs for Walmart, and Brian Rothery, vice president of government and public affairs for Enterprise Holdings.
