Some of you may know that I have been involved in the President’s Annual Presidential Rank of Distinguished Executive (for members of the Senior Executive Service) or Distinguished Senior Professional (for Senior Level and Scientific and Professional executives). The rank is awarded for “sustained extraordinary accomplishment.”

Each year, a maximum of 1% of career Federal executives may receive this award.

Awardees have included Nobel Prize winners and an EPA executive who went on to become President of Lithuania. To gain a better understanding of their contributions to the nation, have attached a list of the accomplishments of several recent awardees.

To learn more about the event, scheduled for Thursday April 25 this year, you may visit
https://www.seniorexecs.org/professional_development_league/awards_banquet/

I hope that, when you do, you will decide to contribute a minimum of $ 5,000 to receive one seat at the banquet and be recognized in the program. I guarantee that, if you do, you will enjoy a very special evening, not unlike a White House State Dinner.

Past speakers at the awards banquet have included:

  • Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack
  • Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
  • Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke
  • Former GAO Comptroller General and CEO and President of Peter G. Peterson Foundation David M. Walker
  • House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer
  • EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson
  • Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman
  • Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge
  • NASA Administrator Sean O’Keefe
  • Counsel to the President Alberto R. Gonzales
  • White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card
  • Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson
  • Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig
  • Director of Office of Management and Budget Franklin Raines
  • Vice President Al Gore
  • Deputy Secretary of Defense John White
  • Secretary of the Army Togo West
  • White House Deputy Chief of Staff Philip Lader
  • EPA Administrator Carol Browner
  • Secretary of Health and Human Services Louis Sullivan
  • Secretary of Transportation Samuel Skinner
  • OPM Director Constance Horner
  • Attorney General Edmund Meese
