The deadline to submit nominations for the Chief Officer Awards is March 3, and we want to highlight and honor the top chief information security officers — and we need your help to do so!

Held in-person May 10 at The Ritz-Carlton in McLean, Virginia, the Chief Officer Awards will recognize the most impactful and innovative C-suite executives in government and industry. The goal is to showcase the technologists, security experts and business leaders making waves in government contracting from both sides of the sector.

For the CISO award, we are seeking those responsible for actively and efficiently putting the right tools, strategies and enterprise vision in place to secure and protect organizational information and technologies. These CISOs are in charge of identifying, developing, implementing and maintaining processes enterprisewide to safeguard data assets and minimize cyber risk, and they take an active role in understanding the evolving threat landscape.

Nominations may come from peers, employees, supervisors and fellow government or industry leaders. This category focuses on executives optimizing organizational culture and aligning enterprisewide diversity and inclusion goals with business outcomes. They are charged with creating an organization’s strategy for hiring diverse and underrepresented candidates, as well as pinpointing new initiatives that can boost diversity organizationally.

Achievements between 2022 and 2023 will be considered.

An executive and/or organization can submit nominations for more than one category, and self-nominations are accepted. Nominations should be max 350 words and include how the CISO solved a challenge(s) for the end customer.
