Handshake Partnership Program FY 15 Applications due S: 30 Sep
The attached memorandum announces a call for proposals for the FY15 Handshake Partnership Program. The program is in its twelfth year and offers an additional funding source (i.e., seed money up to $30,000 per project) to Corps facilities for worthwhile partnership projects. This funding can be used for both recreation and environmental stewardship partnerships.

Electronic applications with district and MSC coordination must be received by Allen Gwinn, NAD representative on the Partnership Advisory Committee, NLT 30 September 2014. The memo and application are forwarded by e-mail and will be posted to the NRM Gateway to expedite distribution. Examples of past applications and agreements are also posted on the site: https://corpslakes.erdc.dren.mil/employees/handshake/agreements.cfm

Handshake Program webinars will be conducted on 15 July and 5 September. Call-in/Web meeting information will be sent at a later date.

Please support and encourage the widest participation in this program that will represent a broad range of projects. The point of contact for this effort is Mr. Allen Gwinn, allen.gwinn@usace.army.mil
