‘Federal 100’ Award Winners Announced

Federal Computer Week announces the winners of its ‘Federal 100’ awards

Federal Computer Week recently released the winners of its 16th annual Federal 100 Awards. The 2005 awards are presented to public and private sector information technology professionals who made outstanding contributions to the government IT community in 2004.

“This is a growing and dynamic market. The 16th annual Federal 100 Awards honor the individuals who go way beyond just doing a good job. These are the people who drive change, who make government smarter and more efficient,” said Federal Computer Week Publisher Anne Armstrong. “This year’s winners become part of a tradition of excellence and service. We applaud them and their achievements.”

Award winners will be honored at the 16th annual Federal 100 Awards Gala on March 23 at the Ritz Carlton in McLean, Va. The gala will also award recipients of Federal Computer Week’s Monticello and Eagle awards. The Monticello Award recognizes a single information system or program that has had a direct impact on the public at large. The Eagle Award is presented to one government official and one industry executive for outstanding contributions to the federal IT community.

Federal Computer Week’s March 21 issue will be dedicated to the 2005 Federal 100 Awards. The issue will highlight each of the winners and their accomplishments. It will also profile some of the more innovative winners.
