"Top 21" Award
The Industry Advisory Council (IAC) selected GLIN as one of the "Top 21" Excellence.Gov Award Finalists for 2009. For 2009, the 21 program finalists all met the stringent criteria for "demonstrating excellence in improving organizational performance using information technology." Each year, the Excellence.Gov Awards recognize the federal government's best IT projects and the SIG selects a different theme for the awards. The theme for 2009, "Transparency: Using IT to improve the interaction between Government and its Stakeholders," focuses on how government organizations use IT transparently to improve the public's information gathering abilities, or an agency's ability to deliver information to the public or a particular constituency. A panel of 25 judges "federal government and industry executives" reviewed 60 nominations and selected 21 for recognition at a ceremony on April 14, 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words top and/or award:
“She isn’t harassed. She’s busy, and it’s glamorous to be busy. Indeed, the image of the on- the-go working mother is very like the glamorous image of the busy top executive. The scarcity of the working mother’s time seems like the scarcity of the top executive’s time.... The analogy between the busy working mother and the busy top executive obscures the wage gap between them at work, and their different amounts of backstage support at home.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
