Meet the women and men who are doing great things in federal IT.

Hundreds of nominations were submitted, and our panel of judges debated for hours. The end 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 being done throughout the community. Next month you'll have the chance to learn more about these individuals as well, via the profiles we will publish in the March 30 issue of FCW and on FCW.com, and you can meet them in person at the March 26 Fed 100 gala. For now, though, you'll have to make do with the list of names, which you can find below:
