“It's an honor to be here today to celebrate you and really – to present you with the highest and most prestigious award for career senior executives and senior professionals in the federal government,” said Dustin Gard-Weiss, performing the duties of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security. “All of today’s recipients achieved critical results while consistently demonstrating exceptional leadership, strength, integrity and a relentless commitment to excellence in public service.”
The Presidential Rank Award recognizes career members of the Senior Executive Service (SES) for exceptional performance over an extended period and senior career employees with a sustained record of exceptional professional, technical or scientific achievement recognized on a national or international level.
“Thank you for your expertise, your leadership, your dedication. You are part of the most capable intelligence and security enterprise the world has ever known. And because of you, we'll continue to be in that position for many decades to come,” said Gard-Weiss.
