LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The Louisville District received the PRP On-the-Spot Award at this year's Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) Conference held June 8-10 in Chicago. This Corps-wide event is attended by all PRP districts across the nation and requires a presentation highlighting lessons learned that are beneficial for all districts across the board.

"Overall the conference was very informative," said Janice Lengel, Louisville District Office of Counsel and the district's co-presenter. "The lessons learned presented by the various districts are always enlightening and very helpful."

After being in the running for the past two years, the Louisville District received this national award based on the success of ongoing collaborative training conducted in-house. Training is continually conducted with a Project Delivery Team (PDT) focus involving project managers, technical managers and Office of Counsel.

"The PDT has worked very hard over the past 12 months developing and coordinating these bi-monthly trainings, and it was wonderful to be recognized this year for all of our hard work," Lengel said.

This training not only minimizes costs, but also has been qualified for Professional Developmental Hours. Janice Lengel and Patricia Bertsch, FUDS Program Manager, Great Lakes and Ohio River Division, co-presented the district's 2010 presentation. The award will remain in the Louisville District until next year's conference.
