Derek Maltz Recognized with the William H. Webster Profiles in Leadership Award
Date Posted: November 19th, 2025
Penlink is proud to share that Derek Maltz has been selected as a recipient of the William H. Webster Profiles in Leadership Award in the federal law enforcement category. This national award, established by the National Economic Security Alliance, honors distinguished leaders who demonstrate exceptional integrity, service, and dedication to the mission of public safety.
The Webster Awards program reflects the values of Judge William H. Webster, the only individual to serve as both Director of the FBI and Director of the CIA. Each year, senior nominating committees made up of former federal leaders review candidates across multiple sectors, including law enforcement, intelligence, homeland security, and defense. Recipients are chosen for their commitment to honor, duty, humility, and leadership that strengthens public trust.
Throughout his career, Derek has embodied these principles. He is widely recognized for his steady leadership, his deep commitment to protecting communities, and his ability to guide complex public safety efforts with clarity and purpose. His service has had a lasting impact on the agencies and teams he has worked alongside, and this award reflects the significant contributions he has made throughout his career.
Penlink congratulates Derek on this well-deserved recognition and is proud to have him as part of our team. His leadership and dedication continue to inspire the work we support across the public safety community.
