Baltimore, September 20 – Accountability Lab is pleased to announce the selection of its Founder and Executive Director, Blair Glencorse, as recipient of the Global Achievement Award from Johns Hopkins University.

I am grateful for this recognition and it will encourage me to continue pushing for more fair, just and accountable systems.”

The celebration of Glencorse’s award will take place on two occasions. Firstly, he will be presented with the award individually on a date to be determined. Then the Accountability Lab Founder will join the other 2019 award recipients at an Annual Dinner organised by the university’s Alumni Council.
