<p><em>The Roundtable is pleased to announce the 2016 Roundtable Harry A. Fagan Award Winner Fr. Fred Kammer. Please join us January 25, 2016 at the Omni Hotel in Washington, D.C. as we honor Fr. Kammer.</em></p>
<p><em>Fred currently serves as chair of the board of the Ignatian Solidarity Network. He has also had a long association with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps as a founder of JVC:South, a leader for over 30 “Re-Orientation” retreats and now as a JVC board member. He has a strong commitment to nurturing in young people a passion for social justice. In fact, most people who meet and work with Fred would describe him as a passionate, dedicated, smart, tireless advocate for the poor and marginalized, one who has been able to stay in this work for the long haul because he is so firmly rooted in his faith and his Jesuit vocation. He has been a leader and role model for many people in the Catholic Church and in the Catholic church and health care arena for many years. He would never seek this kind of honor, but I’m sure it would mean a great deal to him to receive it at this time from peers at the Roundtable who I’m sure he admires – and who cherish the contributions he has made to their work through his writing and his witness.</em></p>
