TVA Employee Spencer Boardman Wins Environmental Excellence Award
Dec. 5, 2003
Knoxville resident and TVA employee Spencer Boardman, a project manager based in Norris, has won a TVA Environmental Excellence Award for his leadership in environmental protection and stewardship.
Boardman made a concerted effort to work in partnership with the Tellico community, the developer, and TVA to find a workable solution in the development of Rarity Pointe on Tellico Reservoir.
“Spencer Boardman’s efforts to integrate responsible environmental practices into business decisions, to comply with environmental laws and regulations, and to find new and better solutions for environmental and public protection earned him this award,” said TVA Environmental Executive Kate Jackson.

Those principles are: management commitment; environmental protection and stewardship; environmental compliance; pollution prevention; partnerships/public involvement; and innovation and technology.
Boardman received a certificate and a framed print depicting a scene from the Valley environment.
