Did you hear? Moving forward, WashingtonExec is combining its two highly anticipated award ceremonies into one exclusive industry event! We’re excited to introduce the better-than-ever Chief Officer Awards — bringing together the best of the best from our previous Chief Officer Awards and Pinnacle Awards into one all-encompassing celebration.
We’re gathering the most influential and popular categories for an opportunity to recognize the game-changers, impact-makers and innovators of GovCon once a year. Don’t miss your chance to nominate your executives today!
The deadline to submit nominations for the Chief Officer Awards is March 17, and we’re looking for your help to identify top C-suite executives leading their companies to innovative and transformative change, benefiting their businesses and government customers.
The awards ceremony will be held in person on June 4 at The Hilton in McLean, Virginia. It’s an event to recognize impactful and innovative C-suite executives in government and industry. Our goal is to highlight technologists, security experts and business leaders making significant contributions in government contracting, representing both sides of the sector.
Nominations may come from peers, employees, supervisors and fellow government or industry leaders. An executive and/or organization can submit nominations for more than one category, and self-nominations are accepted. Achievements between 2024 and 2025 will be considered.
