USDA honors local leader in annual awards ceremony
Little Rock, AR, June 13, 2003 — Natural Resources Conservation Service
Chief Bruce Knight today honored Kalven L. Trice, Arkansas state
conservationist, for "Operating an Efficient, Effective and
Discrimination-Free Organization" in the 57th annual U.S.
Department of Agriculture Honor Awards Ceremony. These awards are the most
prestigious honors bestowed by the Secretary of Agriculture.
The selection was for notable achievement in building and retaining a diverse
workforce, while ensuring efficient and effective program delivery, and
exceptional management of limited resources.
"The Honor Awards are a tribute to our employees for their commitment to
doing the best job possible and serving local communities," Knight said.
"The NRCS workforce is dedicated to conservation and excellence in public
service."
Trice's achievements have resulted in a more diverse NRCS
work force in Arkansas, an increase in public awareness of conservation programs
and funding availability, and efficient management and use of limited resources
and reimbursable projects.
