Lifetime Achievement
The Congressional Management Foundation (CMF) selects and recognizes two Members of Congress (one Democrat and one Republican) who have had long, respected careers in the Congress and who have had positive impacts on the management and operations of part or all of the institution.
Additionally, CMF accepts nominations for the Staff Lifetime Achievement Democracy Award. All current legislative branch staffers working in Congress are eligible for the this award. This includes staffers who work in personal, committee, leadership, and institutional offices (e.g., House Chief Administrative Office, Secretary of the Senate, Library of Congress, etc.) Former staff members will not be considered for this award unless they were employed by the institution at the time of their nomination.
