Congratulations to all the women and men being honored for their exceptional contributions to federal IT.

Hundreds of nominations were submitted, and our panel of judges debated for hours. The result? A list of 100 women and men that should make even the most hardened skeptics optimistic about what's possible in federal IT.
It's a tremendous privilege to be able to sift through all these stories. The pool of nominations provides a great survey of the work done throughout the community in 2016, and there are many more outstanding individuals than even a list of 100 can accomodate. (One judge remarked this year that she wished we had the Fed 200! That's not likely to happen, but it does speak to the depth of talent across the federal IT community.)
Next month you'll have the chance to learn more about each of these winners -- via the profiles we will publish in the March 30 issue of FCW and on FCW.com, and in person at the March 30 Fed 100 gala. For now, though, you'll have to make do with the list of names, which you can find below.
