This year's winners wrote essays on the current topic of:  "Many federal agencies face a difficult choice between funding near-term operations or investing in future capability. We see this clearly in the testimony and public statements of DoD leadership as they balance readiness today with future weapon systems, but it is also a challenge in organizations such as DHS. If you were an agency CFO, what specific actions would you take to inform and develop readiness vs. investment recommendations to your senior leaders? “
