Karen Myers, senior contracts business partner in the Finance Directorate at IDA’s Alexandria, VA headquarters, was presented with the W. Y. Smith Award in recognition of her team’s contributions to IDA.
“The team made significant contributions to the successful completion of IDA’s Contractor Purchasing System Review and the end-to-end consultant process,” said IDA President Norty Schwartz. “Completing these two procurement projects enables IDA to maintain an approved purchasing system that meets sponsor requirements, supports timely purchasing and avoids non-value-added extra work for our government contracting officers.”
