Credibility-first recognition for measurable public value
Honor the leaders who make government work.
PSLA is a peer-nominated, independently judged awards program recognizing exceptional executive leadership across public agencies nationwide — with strict separation between sponsors and judging.
Peer-nominated only
PSLA accepts nominations from peers and stakeholders — not self-nominations — to preserve credibility.
Independent scoring
Finalists and winners are selected using a published rubric, independent peer judges, and COI enforcement.
Sponsor-neutral
Sponsors support the program and events — never the judging. No public voting.
