(DOE) Facility Representative of the Year. The
Board Members and staff join you and your site managers in recognizing the
importance of the contributions to facility safety made by the DOE Facility
Representatives and add our congratulations and best wishes to Ms. Lorence.
This year’s workshop, which

demonstrated the continued growth and maturity of the Facility Representative community
and its strong program leadership. The
