    Innovation federal executives were honored late last week at the Federal Government Distance Learning Association (FGDLA) awards. The event was held at the Hyatt Reston Town Center, with 175 nominees and their guests attending. The annual FGDLA awards highlight federal executives harnessing new technologies that increase efficiencies and better accomplish their agency missions.

    In the current federal budgetary climate, innovation is needed as never before. These federal leaders have implemented distance learning programs that reduce travels expenditures dramatically. At the same time, training and professional development materials are offered in additional formats and venues,  increasing the efficiency of the organization as a whole.
