Lisa Doyle, chancellor of the VA Acquisition Academy, was named 2011 Chief Learning Officer of the Year by Chief Learning Officer magazine. A panel of seven judges, consisting of leaders in learning and development and past recipients of the award, recognized Doyle as the 2011 CLO of the Year for her work in standing up the VA Acquisition Academy.

Doyle was named the academy’s first chancellor in 2008 and partnered with VA leaders to define the mission of the newly-established academy and deliver on its promise to grow, train and retain the 40,000-member acquisition workforce that is charged with acquiring the goods, services, technology, facilities and supplies needed to carry out VA’s mission.

The CLO of the Year award is given annually to the candidate who best exemplifies leadership qualities, creates the vision for change in his or her organization, and adds value for stakeholders.

The Learning in Practice Awards were announced at a special awards ceremony during the Fall 2011 Chief Learning Officer Symposium in Dana Point, Calif. The event brings together learning leaders from around the world to discuss innovative enterprise learning strategies and share best practices.
