Murphy-Mason accepted the award July 26 at the National Contract Management Association World Congress held in Orlando, Florida. Her 14-year Corps career began as a student in the district's Contracting Division in 2002. In 2010, she received a contracting officer warrant, which allows contracting staff to obligate the government for contracting actions. 2015 was a breakout year for Murphy-Mason, who won her first national awards for PCO of the Year and Project Development Team of the Year, the latter received for her contributions to a collective effort.
