AND THE AWARD GOES TO …
The Army Acquisition Workforce includes more than 37,000 highly talented professionals, all of whom have achievements of which they can be proud. But only so many awards are given out every year. Here are a few tips to help your nomination stand out from all the rest.
Prepare well in advance. Start the process early and give yourself plenty of time. Like birthdays and holidays, these awards come around at the same time each year, so there’s no excuse not to be ready. Nominations for DOD acqui- sition awards are collected at the direct reporting unit level every spring, and the deadline is usually at the end of May. Nominations for the Army Acquisition Executive’s Excellence in Leadership Awards and the Secretary of the Army Excellence in Contracting Awards are due in the summer. Consider the stars in your organization, figure out early on who or what program would be a good candidate for nomination and keep track of measurable successes.
Read the instructions carefully. Review the instruction packets completely—word by word, page by page. What are the award requirements? Who’s eligible? How are the winners chosen? What does your paperwork need to look like? As you move through the process of finalizing
