American Australian Association will be hosting its Annual Benefit Dinner on Wednesday October 29 2025 at Cipriani Wall Street, New York.

For over 75 years, the American Australian Association has connected our two cultures, guided our people and provided new opportunities for a diverse network of trailblazers. On October 29, we will celebrate the vision of Sir Keith Murdoch who in 1948 founded the Association to develop, broaden and strengthen the relationships between leaders of our two great nations in government and business while celebrating our honorees.

This year, we are proud to honor Jennifer Nason for her extraordinary contributions to global business and transpacific relations. Jennifer recently concluded a 39-year career at J.P. Morgan, where she served as Global Chairman of Investment Banking. A former Chair of the Association and Co-Chair of our Business Council, she has been a committed and visible advocate of the U.S.–Australia alliance for decades.

In addition, we will mark the success of our scholarship and exchange program, which has awarded almost US$18 million to more than 1,100 Graduate, Indigenous, Veteran and Arts scholars. Funds raised from the dinner will support the best and brightest next generation of innovative American and Australian leaders to build research capacity, develop solutions to pressing global issues, and continue to foster ongoing international collaborations. You will have the opportunity to hear directly from our alumni who have become notable thought leaders in their fields.
