Vienna, VA (PRWEB) September 12, 2016 -- FCW, an 1105 Media publication, is pleased to announce the winners of the 2016 Rising Star Awards.
FCW’s Rising Star awards program recognizes individuals in the first 10 years of their federal IT careers who have gone above and beyond their official job descriptions. The awards are an opportunity for agencies and contractors alike to give their up-and-comers a turn in the spotlight – both as a reward to those top performers and as an example to others.
“As any good leader in federal IT would tell you, so much depends on having outstanding talent at all levels of an organization,” FCW Editor-in-Chief Troy K. Schneider said. "The Rising Stars are not usually found at the top of the org chart, but they are already critical leaders in this community. Their work should be celebrated — and we should expect to see more of them in the years to come.”
