January 11, 2023 — 

Over 200 members of the Senior Executive Service this year will receive Presidential Rank Awards, considered the highest honor for career civil servants, including AASV member Dr. Joan Lunney. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Lunney!

President Joe Biden picked 233 winners across a total of 33 different agencies for the 2022 awards program, the Office of Personnel Management announced on Nov. 15.

"Each and every day, our federal employees are working to address the nation's most pressing issues, developing technologies to improve millions of lives, and ultimately, achieving the seemingly unachievable on behalf of the American public," OPM Director Kiran Ahuja said in a press statement. "This year's Presidential Rank Awards reflect the Biden-Harris administration's support for hardworking civil servants who exemplify strength, integrity, industry and a relentless commitment to public service through their exceptional leadership, contributions and accomplishments."

The Presidential Rank Awards started in 1978 under the Civil Service Reform Act as a way to recognize outstanding career senior leaders in the federal workforce. It's the premier award for federal leaders.
