A Rising Talent
Elizabeth Harrin (January 13, 2009)

Edward Logan is playing a key role in leading the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office into a paperless 21st Century environment. Previously, he managed successful multimillion-dollar programs as a consultant. In his spare time, he has put his project management skills to good use at two non-profits organizations. Did we mention he’s 32 years old?

The International Project Management Association recently honored Edward Logan with its 2008 International Young Project Manager Award, in recognition of “superior work performance in the application of project management principles and techniques” at the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO), a federal government agency under the Department of Commerce. Established in 2006 to recognize “rising talent,” the IPMA award is given to project managers under the age of 35 “who are already demonstrating that they can make a difference to the project management profession and to the companies and clients for whom they work.”

Logan, who is deputy program manager for ManTech International Corp., received his award at the 22nd IPMA World Congress in Rome in November. The second-prize winner was Andrey Belozerov from Russia.
