The Roe Award is an annual award given by the State Policy Network that "pays tribute to those in the state public policy movement whose achievements have greatly advanced the free market philosophy" and "recognizes leadership, innovation and accomplishment in public policy."{{cite web|title=The Roe Awards|url=https://spn.org/roe-award/|publisher=State Policy Network|accessdate=16 July 2015}} The award was established in 1992, and it is named after Thomas A. Roe, the late founder of the State Policy Network.
During the first decade of the award, there were multiple winners. Beginning in 2003, the prize was limited to one winner per year. The ceremony in 2013 marked the first time three individuals from one organization had received the Roe Award. The Mackinac Center was also honored for their 25-year effort to pass right-to-work law in Michigan. Five other state-based think tanks have two individuals with the award.{{cite web |title=Mackinac Center President Honored for Leadership |url=https://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/Lehman-wins-award |website=michigancapitolconfidential.com |publisher=Capitol Confidential News |access-date=21 February 2022}}
