Finalists Announced for the 6th Annual GovCon Awards

The Fairfax Chamber of Commerce's Northern Virginia Government Contractors Council (GovCon), the Publishers of Washington Technology Magazine and the Professional Services Council, in conjunction with a host of sponsors, recently announced the finalists for the 6th Annual GovCon Awards.

The awards for Contractor of the Year are presented in four categories: Companies of Less than $25 million in Revenues, Companies with Revenues from $25 to $75 million, Companies with Revenues from $75 to $300 million, and Companies with Revenues greater than $300 million.

Finalists and winners are chosen by a panel of highly regarded industry and government leaders. This year, the awards selection committee includes:

· Mary Frances leMat, Chair, Board of Directors, Social & Scientific Systems, Inc.
· Kingsley Haynes, Dean, School of Public Policy, George Mason University
· Ken Johnson, Former President, CACI International, Inc.
· Ted Legasey, Former COO, SRA International
· Jean Stack, Senior Vice President, Houlihan Lokey
· John Toups, Former CEO, PRC

There were five finalists in each of the four categories for a total of twenty companies. The GovCon Council describes the finalists as the kind of companies “who set the bar for the industry.” For a list of the finalists, visit the GovCon Awards web site at http://www.govconawards.com/.

As I reviewed the list, I was struck by another characteristic shared by most of the finalists. Three out of four of the finalists use a Deltek accounting solution.

Congratulations to all the finalists.
