The Walter Gellhorn Innovation Award

Celebrating Innovative Federal Agency Best Practices

 

 

 

The Walter Gellhorn Innovation Award is named after the Conference's longest-serving Council member who was known by many as the "Father of Administrative Law."

 

The Gellhorn Award, judged by a distinguished panel of experts, is designed to recognize the federal agency with the best model practice that can be adopted government-wide. 

 

The 2013-2014 award was given to the General Services Administration for their DigitalGov User Experience Program, which helps federal agencies improve their online customer service offerings by making information on government websites easy to find, accessible, and available on the go.

 

This year’s award will be presented at the 62nd Plenary Session on June 4, 2015.

 

We encourage all Conference members to submit a Gellhorn Award nomination.

 

The application consists of a short online form.  Government agencies may submit their own best practices, or nominate another government agency.  Anyone (not just government members) can submit a nomination for an agency best practice.

 

Submissions are due no later than Monday, May 4, 2015.

 

Has your agency made advances in technology that result in cost savings to the government or external users?  Does your agency employ retrospective review of regulations in an innovative and efficient way?  Does your agency have other best practices that can be shared?  If so…

 

Please submit your nomination now!
