What happens if you are the federal equivalent of Superman or Wonderwoman? Then the White House may tap you for major honors and a handsome cash award. Which is...
The seventy-six winners of the coveted Presidential Distinguished Rank Awards were honored last night at a black tie banquet at the State Department. The honors carry an award ranging from 20 to 35 percent of the executive’s federal salary. The SES pay range is $119,554 to $179,700.
The awards ceremony (this is the 25th) is handled by the Senior Executives Association with generous corporate grants.
