About the Awards

Each year, APEX highlights management excellence and leadership of federal public service executives. The Association’s awards are presented to the people who have made uniquely important contributions. The recognition of excellence by our peers contributes to a greater sense of community among the executive cadre. These Awards not only recognize the individual achievement of the finalists, but also shine a light on public service excellence more broadly, by highlighting the programs and initiatives that represent the talent, creativity, and commitment of the executive cadre. The APEX Awards of Excellence are open to all executives currently employed in the public service, regardless of their membership status with APEX.

APEX is seeking nominations for the following awards:

– Leadership

– Innovation

– Partnership

– Community Contribution

– Career Contribution

List of Awards and nomination criteria

Once nominations close, APEX will strike a selection committee and undertake the task of confirming the Award winners for each category. Each nominee will be advised in spring 2025 prior to the official announcements at the APEX Leadership Summit.
