More than 300 individuals and teams across the federal government, including 35 VA staff members, were chosen for this year’s award.
Congratulations to these teams, and to all of VA’s award winners, for their outstanding service and dedication to Veterans. The official award ceremony honoring recipients will be held at The Mayflower in Washington, D.C., on September 15, 2023.
