Presidential Rank
Awards
Each year,
the President recognizes and celebrates a small group
of career Senior Executives with the President's Rank
Award for exceptional long-term accomplishments. Beginning
with awards granted in 2003, eligibility for this
award is extended to other categories of high-performing
senior career employees. Winners of this prestigious
award are strong leaders, professionals, and scientists
who achieve results and consistently demonstrate strength,
integrity, industry, and a relentless commitment to
excellence in public service.
There
are two categories of rank awards: Distinguished and
Meritorious. Award winners are chosen through a rigorous
selection process. They are nominated by their agency
heads, evaluated by boards of private citizens, and
approved by the President. The evaluation criteria
focus on leadership and results.
Distinguished
rank recipients receive a lump-sum payment of 35 percent
of their base pay; Meritorious rank recipients receive
20 percent of base pay. All recipients receive a framed
certificate signed by the President.
