2026 Annual Banquet Keynote Presentation featuring Doug Mills
The LENS Foundation is proud to share the full keynote presentation from our Fifth Annual Fundraising & Recognition Banquet, delivered by Doug Mills, a nationally respected photojournalist and longtime photographer for The New York Times. Mills has spent more than four decades documenting the American presidency, major national moments, and history as it unfolds — including work recognized with multiple Pulitzer Prizes. His career has taken him behind the scenes of the White House, presidential campaigns, world events, and some of the most defining images of our time. In this presentation, Doug shares stories, insight, and perspective from a remarkable career built on service, trust, and capturing moments that help shape the way we remember history. We are grateful to Doug for joining us for such a memorable evening and are pleased to make his keynote available for those who were unable to attend or would like to experience it again.
