"The 2022 class of Doers, Dreamers and Drivers is an impressive group of leaders whose work is driving important changes in how government serves constituents," said Noelle Knell, editor of Government Technology magazine. "Our hope is that their stories will inspire readers, as they did us, to continue to seek opportunities to modernize and transform their organizations."

"I want to extend my gratitude to Government Technology for presenting me with this honor," Wallace said. "We all know, as leaders, that we are only as good as our staff. While my name is listed among the honorees, it is truly about the organization, staff, and citizens we serve. Success and its rewards are a shared endeavor."
