Congratulations to our Senior Program Analyst for receiving the Program Manager’s Spotlight Award, one of the highest levels of awards our company offers. She was nominated by her federal deputy director with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Coral Reef Conservation Program for quickly taking action upon the departure of the federal grants coordinator. She jumped into the role to help program process awards for several grant competitions to make sure the program met their statutory requirements. This would not have been possible without her assistance, professionalism, and long-term expertise.

A big thank you and congratulations!
