2017 Handshake Partnership Recipients
The attached memorandum announces the successful recipients of FY 2017 Handshake Partnership Program funding. This program continues to forge important new relationships and open new paths in partnering. Thank you for your many worthy nominations from across the nation. It was a very difficult competition and the final selectees came from a good cross-section of our national program: four divisions and seven Corps districts are represented among the nine recipients.

Please join me in congratulating the selected recipients, which include Big Hill Lake; Caesar Creek Lake; Coralville Lake; Tioga-Hammond/Cowanesque Lakes; Raystown Lake; Rend Lake; Shelbyville Lake; Surry Mountain Lake, and Table Rock Lake.

Thanks again for the many nominations and congratulations again to our final recipients! Please contact Mr. Heath Kruger at heath.r.kruger@usace.army.mil or (816) 389-2183, should you have any questions or need more information.
