Rising Star nominations open
Nominate bright young federal employees, the up-and-comers, for this year's Rising Star awards.
FCW's Rising Star awards program is an opportunity for agencies and contractors alike to give their up-and-comers a turn in the spotlight. It's our chance to honor the top performers themselves and hold them up as an example to others. Nominations for 2013 are now being accepted; the deadline for this year's submissions is midnight on Monday, July 15.
Much like the Federal 100 awards, the Rising Star awards recognizes individuals who go above and beyond their official job descriptions. By focusing on those in the first 10 years of their federal IT careers, however, the judges look for nominees who not only make a real impact, but also have clear potential to grow into more responsibility in their organizations and in the community at large.
Curious to see who's made the grade in the past? Check out the profiles of last year's winners -- and then submit nominations for the rising stars in your organization.
