The IG Academy’s William Barton Award is named for the Honorable
William R. Barton, former Inspector General of the General Services
Administration, who was instrumental in founding the Academy. Now an
established tradition, the Award is given by the IG Academy to the
student in the IG Investigator Training Program (IGITP) who best
demonstrates the personal attributes that exemplify the ideals of the
Inspector General community and the Academy, such as integrity,
professionalism, and leadership. The recipient is chosen by the
IG Academy staff and facilitators. The IG Academy also awards an
Academic Honor Certificate to the student in IGITP who achieves
the highest academic score.
