Excellence in Partnerships Award
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Excellence in Partnerships Award was created to recognize outstanding contributions of any partner organization which has participated in the Corps recreation or environmental stewardship activities and/or projects.
National Volunteers Award
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in partnership with the Corps Foundation created these awards to recognize the extraordinary service provided by volunteers, draw attention to their vast skills and contributions, and encourage an attitude of stewardship and responsibility in caring for Corps lands, facilities, and resources. The intent of the awards is to distinguish those individuals, couples, families, or groups who give their skills, talents, and time beyond the normal call of duty and whose creditable service to the Corps has resulted in the significant enhancement to one or more of the Corps business lines.
