Leadership Awards    

     The Captain Joy Bright Hancock (Officer) and Master Chief Anna Der-Vartanian (Enlisted) Leadership Awards honor the visionary leadership of service members whose ideals and dedication foster a positive working environment for reinforcing and furthering the integration of women into the Navy.  Established in 1987, these awards are presented annually to recognize inspirational leadership of Navy service members on active or reserve duty.  The awards are co-sponsored by the Sea Service Leadership Association (SSLA) and the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA).

     Inspirational, innovative, and imaginative nominees should be mature leaders who have demonstrated leadership both on and off-duty, and have persevered to overcome challenges while serving.  Nominations should address nominees' professional accomplishments, leadership style, and community involvement. 

     Leadership award winners are honored at the Joint Women's Leadership Symposium (JWLS) each year.
