Navigator Awards
The Potomac Institute for Policy Studies hosts the Navigator Awards, a dinner gala that recognizes extraordinary individuals from the Legislative Branch, The Executive Branch, and the Private Sector for recent or lifetime contributions to national science and technology policy.
The Institute believes that honoring these leaders for their accomplishments promotes a continued understanding of science and technology and its growing impact on government and society. Navigation, one of man’s enduring technical challenges, is equally challenging in policy. The Navigator Award is named to reflect our understanding that national leadership in science and technology policy is a never-ending process of finding the way ahead.
