Help Choose the 2011 SAVE Award Winner

In 2009, President Obama launched the SAVE Award [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/save-award?utm_source=110911&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ] (Securing Americans Value and Efficiency), seeking ideas from federal employees to make government more effective and efficient, and ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.

This year government employees submitted over 20,000 ideas online, and today the four finalists will be joining senior administration officials for a video teleconference.

You can watch the teleconference live on WhiteHouse.gov/Live [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/live?utm_source=110911&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ] at 11:00 EST and vote for your favorite idea on WhiteHouse.gov [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/save-award?utm_source=110911&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ].
