A Navy official who rose from a GS-2 temporary position to a senior position in programming, budgeting, financial analysis, accounting and audit readiness has been named the federal manager of the year by the Federal Managers Association.

Linda Lentjes is Resource and Requirements Director/Comptroller with U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/U.S. FOURTH Fleet, Naval Station Mayport, Jacksonville, Fla., and president of the FMA Chapter at Naval Station Mayport and a member of the FMA executive board.

“During her forty years of federal service, she has built an in-depth knowledge and level of expertise, which she eagerly shares. As a military spouse, she took every opportunity to learn and grow, often working outside her assigned duties and responsibilities,” the FMA said. “She is also vocal and actively supportive of FMA’s legislative agenda, regularly meeting with Representatives and Senators and advocating for the interests of managers and supervisors.”
