May 24, 2010 – Federal News Radio congratulates the winners of the first annual Causey Awards. This awards program was designed to call attention to an important area within the federal government and industry; the human capital management field.

Over the course of four weeks, Federal News Radio solicited nominations of professionals who had accomplished extraordinary things related to pay, benefits, human resources and human capital issues. The nominations came from far afield and all described excellent work. The winners of The Causey Awards were those whose work made the most impact in 2009.

And the winners are:

• Jennie Liming, General Services Administration. Ms. Liming created, implemented and manages a program to develop entry level employees into mission critical leaders within GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service. (Hear our interview with Jennie Liming on Monday, May 24, on the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris.)
