This award recognizes a maximum of two congressional staffers (one institutional/support office staffer, one personal/committee/leadership office staffer) who have had both long, respected careers in Congress as well as a positive impact on the management and operations of the institution. We seek information about their careers on Capitol Hill and their contribution to Congress.
All current legislative branch staffers who have worked for Congress at least 20 years are eligible for this award. This includes staffers who work for personal, committee, leadership, and institutional offices (e.g., House Chief Administrative Office, Secretary of the Senate, Library of Congress, etc.). Former staff members will not be considered for this award unless they were employed by the institution at the time of their nomination. Individuals may not nominate themselves.
