Officials give awards for managing programs and protecting soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

• Deborah Erwin at the General Services Administration for providing support on numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation issues. The initiative publicly acknowledges the accomplishments of the workforce that gets few governmentwide congratulations, said Paul Denett, the administrator of OFFP. “By giving these well-deserved awards, I hope to not only recognize outstanding acquisition professionals for their contributions, but ensure their practices are available to the federal workforce,” he said.
