The envelope please ....

We are pleased to announce the 2013 Federal 100.

This year's winners, chosen by a select panel of government and industry leaders, include 22 from industry, two from academia, one from state government and 75 from the federal government—with 56 in civilian agencies, 15 in the defense sector and four from Capitol Hill. These individuals represent a wide range of accomplishments, such as guarding against the next wave of cyberattacks and deploying mission-driven big data projects. Also among the winners are some who have helped make e-rulemaking, accessible health data and shared services a reality.

The nominations we received this year show just how important the individual can be in bringing real change to federal technology. The 2013 winners faced persistent budget uncertainty, election-year politics, and IT challenges that have grown more complicated and faster-moving than ever. Yet time and again, these leaders solved the problems and got it done.

FCW will honor the winners at a March 20 gala at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, D.C. Look for full profiles of the winners in the March 30 print issue of FCW, and in mid-March on FCW.com.

And now, without further ado: The 2013 Federal 100.
