DorobekInsider: GSA transition leads earn Coalition Partnership recognition
The Coalition for Government Procurement Tuesday night handed out its 10th annual Excellence in Partnership Awards at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. I was honored to be asked to speak at the event. More on that a bit later.
The night’s big award — Government/Industry Partnership Alliance Award, which is only given out in years when there is somebody who rises to the challenge — was given to two leaders who led the presidential transition initiative for the General Services Administration, which, by all accounts, went exceedingly well. The two winners:
* Ed O’Hare, who is now the head of GSA Federal Acquisition Service’s Integrated Technology Services, but was one of the leaders of the transition team.
* Timothy O. Horne, GSA, Rocky Mountain Region
