2022 Volunteer Award Recipients
I am pleased to share the attached memos, signed by Thomas P. Smith, Chief of Operations, announcing the selection of the awardees for the 2022 Excellence in Partnership Award and the National Volunteer Award, co-sponsored by the Corps Foundation. These awards will be presented to each of the recipients later this year.

National Volunteer Award: This year’s USACE national volunteer of the year award recipients are Red and Joy Lyons of Carters Lake in the Mobile District. Mr. and Mrs. Lyons have donated over 5,000 hours of volunteer service over a two-year period. While at Carters, the Lyons have supported a wide range of objectives, including water safety, interpretation, landscaping, wildlife management, campground host duties and routine maintenance. Their love and dedication for the project led them to create a new partnership organization, Our Beautiful Carters Lake.

I want to extend my sincere appreciation for the incredible service that all of our partners and volunteers continue to provide USACE and this Nation each and every day!
