Washington 2016 GovStar Awards 

The GovStar Awards program honors local government contractors for their technology innovation, workplace environment, growth, veteran support and contributions to the industry and the marketplace. Each year, an independent committee of local business leaders selects 45 finalists, from which 15 winners are chosen based on the quality of nominations submitted. Finalists are profiled in the November/December issue of Washington SmartCEO magazine and celebrated at an awards reception in November, where the winners are announced live.
