Many GovLoopers Among GovTech’s Top 25 Doers, Dreamers and Drivers of 2010

In case you didn’t see the great news, our very own Steve Ressler was named by Government Technology magazine as one of the “Top 25 Doers, Dreamers & Drivers of 2010.” I’ve included the full article and list of honorees below. You’ll probably recognize many other GovLoop members like Peter Corbett, Bill Greeves, David Fletcher, Michelle Hovet, Shannon Tufts, and Chris Vein. Congratulations to all of the individuals who were recognized for their incredible contributions to improving government through innovation. (By the way, if you want to pat Steve on the back, Bill Bott has opened up a forum saying “Congrats to Steve!”)

Since 2002, we’ve dedicated the March issue of Government Technology to 25 people who cut through the public sector’s infamous barriers to innovation — tight budgets, organizational inertia, politics as usual, etc. — to reshape government operations for the better. This year, we honor an eclectic group of individuals from government, academia and the private sector who share a willingness to challenge convention and find new answers to long-standing issues. Congratulations to our 2010 Doers, Dreamers and Drivers.
