It is often stated that behind every good man is a great woman; indeed this is the situation at hand for many progressive years in the development of a lifelong theme “Together We Can Make A Difference”. Together you have made an extraordinary positive difference in thousands of individual lives globally in more ways than can be counted.

That process includes but not limited to decades of untiring effort and self-sacrifice building hope to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, in the advancement of democracy, civil and human rights, preventing disease, improving mental health, promoting economic development and social justice through diplomacy and advocacy.

It is to that point of a beginning without out end that is worthy of global recognition, that you be awarded the Life Time Achievement Award, exemplifying to “…seek peace and peruse it” (1 Peter 3:10). 

“Many things have changed in the course of 46 years in Georgia and globally; we are humbled and yet proud of what the Carters’ accomplished together. We cannot think of any other couple that has contributed more too so many societies globally than the Carters’ have.” said Brad Follett, Founder and President of Earth Month and Earth Month Network. “The Carters’ for years have understood and implemented the five core values of natural, physical, cultural, social and economic environs, embracing them with communication, cooperation, and collaboration efforts, and are more than worthy of the Life Time Achievement Award. They have embraced the theme ‘Together We Can Make A Difference’ beseeching others to this regard,” said Follett.
