WashingtonExec yesterday unveiled the winners of the 2018 inaugural Pinnacle Awards at a luncheon at the Ritz Carlton Tysons Corner, shining a light on exemplary leadership in the GovCon industry.
The winners put federal IT buzz words du jour to the test by advancing important federal missions between 2017-2018 — all to the benefit of the American taxpayer. Each executive winner exemplifies true leadership, innovation and a drive to make the government more efficient and effective.
The judge’s committee received 150 nominations across 13 categories.
The awards ceremony, emceed by Dr. John Hillen, was different from other GovCon award ceremonies in that nominators were asked to describe the “why” and the “how” of an executive milestone and/or federal client project. The awards were not solely based on rewarding revenue generation, CEO only, or other arbitrary accolades. Judges Committee included Anne Altman, chairman of the board, Siemens Government Technologies, Tim Keenan, founder, Keenan & Associates, and Doug Wagoner, board member, Thomson Reuters.
Please also save the date for the annual K-12 STEM Symposium on March 30, 2019 at the Nysmith School. Find more information at www.stemsymposium.com.
