John King, Land and Maritime commander, the six awardees were:-- Outstanding DLA Personnel of the Year (Civilian Grades 7-12): Natalya Radyk, Maritime Supplier Operations-- Outstanding DLA Personnel of the Year (Civilian Grades 13-15): Don Schulze, Maritime Customer Operations-- Achievement in Equal Employment Opportunity by an employee: Debra Hobbs-- Excellence in Time to Award Team Award: Maritime Supplier Operations team-- Excellence in Procurement Analysis: Travis Robertson, Strategic Acquisition Programs-- DLA Joint Reserve Force Junior Officer of the Year: Army Capt. Vince Barber“I couldn’t be more proud to be the Commander of this great organization,” King said. “The winners and nominees from Land and Maritime demonstrated why the professionalism we foster here in Columbus is second to none."I would also like to say thank you to the supervisors, for taking the time to put together the nomination packets and ensure that the hard work of these associates received the recognition they earned."In all, 50 awards were presented to individuals and teams from throughout the agency.
