Dana Perino headlines MSPC's Spring Dinner in Boise Saturday night


Dana Perino in a blue top stands in front of a blurred cityscape background. The scene feels professional and vibrant.

Mountain States Policy Center (MSPC) will host its premier Spring Dinner this Saturday, featuring keynote speaker Dana Perino, former White House Press Secretary and co-host of Fox News’ The Five. The evening will also include the highly anticipated announcement of MSPC’s 2026 Elevation Award recipient—one of the organization’s most closely guarded honors.


Perino, a nationally respected political commentator, bestselling author, and former senior communications advisor in the Bush administration, will deliver remarks focused on leadership, the evolving media landscape, and the importance of advancing free-market principles in the American West.


The dinner is part of an MSPC flagship fundraising series which also includes the organization’s Fall Dinner and Montana Liberty Dinner. Collectively, these events are among the largest free-market policy gatherings in the nation, regularly drawing more than 1,400 citizens, business leaders, and policymakers each year.


“The dinner is not only a chance to hear from one of the most influential voices in American public life, but also an opportunity to celebrate the ideas and individuals driving positive change across our region,” said Chris Cargill, President of Mountain States Policy Center.


“We’re especially excited to unveil this year’s Elevation Award recipient—an honor that recognizes exceptional leadership and commitment to advancing opportunity and freedom in the Mountain States.”


The Elevation Award is presented annually to an individual or individuals who made a significant impact in promoting policies that expand economic freedom and individual liberty. The recipient is kept confidential until the evening of the event, adding to the anticipation surrounding the program.
