Saving the Army money isn’t easy but it all adds up. In fact, the staff from the Fort Riley Directorate of Public Works, Energy Branch managed to add up more than $2.6 million in cost savings. That six-figure savings was just a part of what earned them the Secretary of the Army Energy and Water Management Award for Energy Efficiency.
Fort Riley’s Utilities Privatization Program manager, Larry Graham, was recently recognized through a national spotlight from the Federal Energy Management Program. In 2017, the FEDS Spotlight was created to recognize federal employees who have gone to extra effort to cut energy waste, reduce costs, optimize performance and advance America's progress toward energy independence, resilience and security.
National Disability Employment Awareness Month is observed throughout the entire month of October and recognizes the accomplishments and contributions that men and women with disabilities make each day within our nation. Within this observance includes Disability Mentoring Day, which is a nation-wide effort held by the American Association of People with Disabilities specifically on the 3rd Wednesday of each October.
