As one of the most prestigious awards in the federal career civil service, this rank is notably presented to only five percent of Senior Executive Service career members.
“Nancy consistently employs command-wide teamwork and innovative solutions to successfully fulfill requirements that meet the demands of her customers,” said NAVWAR Executive Director John Pope. “Her technical excellence coupled with a humble, confident leadership style inspires others, instills integrity, and achieves results.
