The finalists, who were chosen by an independent panel of judges, will be featured in the October issue of SmartCEO magazine and celebrated at the GOVstar Awards ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 18, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City.

The GOVstar program, now in its third year of celebration in Washington, kicked off with a nomination process ending this past May. SmartCEO created the GOVstar program to honor local government contracting firms for their technology innovation, workplace environment, growth, veteran support and contributions to the industry and marketplace. SmartCEO donates a portion of the event proceeds to The Wounded EOD Warrior Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to our Wounded EOD Warriors and their families in the form of financial relief.
