The 2021 Managerial Leadership in Government Award goes to Leah Haugen, a program manager at the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Basic Research Office.
Leah has worked for over 15 years in resource planning and public affairs.
She has been recognized with multiple awards including the Air Force Office of Scientific Research Civilian of the Year Award, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research Mission Support Individual of the Year Award, and the Notable Achievement Award.
