About Excellence.Gov:
The Federal Government spends more than $100 billion annually on the acquisition and management of information technology resources. The ability of the government to serve the public and manage federal activities is dependent upon the successful management of IT assets. The Excellence.Gov Awards Program was established by the American Council for Technology/Industry Advisory Council to recognize best practices in the federal government’s management and use of information technology. The Excellence.Gov Awards Program recognizes those federal programs – and their managers – who have achieved exceptional results in the management of IT to support the government’s mission and serve citizens.
Since its establishment in 2002 over 150 federal e-government programs have been recipients of an Excellence.gov Award. For a list of past winners go to the Excellence.Gov webpage: http://www.actgov.org/education/awards/exgov/2009exgov/Pages/default.aspx

* = White House definition of Transparency: Government should be transparent. Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their Government is doing. Information maintained by the Federal Government is a national asset. Executive departments and agencies should harness new technologies to put information about their operations and decisions online and readily available to the public. Executive departments and agencies should also solicit public feedback to identify information of greatest use to the public.
