Guests should dress in business attire.

FMC’s Statesmanship Awards will be held at the Library of Congress in the Thomas Jefferson Building, located at 10 1st St SE, Washington, DC 20540. Ride share services, such as Uber, are able to drop guests off directly in front of the Library. Additionally, the Library is only a 10 minute walk from the Capitol South Metro Station, located on the Orange, Silver, and Blue lines.

The Library of Congress does not have designated parking, and street parking around Capitol Hill can be difficult to find. The closest public parking garage is located at Union Station, which is about a 20 minute walk from the Library. If you plan to drive, we recommend parking a few blocks away from the Library in order to find space.

The Library of Congress, as part of the U.S. Capitol complex, is under the jurisdiction of the United States Capitol Police. Upon arrival, please be prepared to walk through a metal detector and pass personal belongings through an X-ray machine.
