The American Council for Technology (ACT) – Industry Advisory Council (IAC) will graduate 24 members of its 2015 Voyagers Program at noon Monday, May 18, at the 2015 Management of Change Conference.
The nine-month program is a competitive leadership development program for “rising stars” in government and industry who have a high potential for future advancement. During the program, participants learned from each other’s perspectives and how to face government IT challenges head-on.
“I am honored to be part of this longstanding, prestigious program and congratulate all of my fellow Voyagers,” Attain’s Stacy Brownstein said upon acceptance into the program. “I look forward to what I’m confident will be a rewarding experience and bringing invaluable new insights to my work at Attain.”
Applicants to the program were nominated by their agency or organization, based on their past experience and future aspirations. They were then evaluated by a panel of government and industry senior executives, who reviewed, scored and selected the final Voyagers.
