Defense Community Awards
2011 Defense Community Award Winners
The Defense Community Awards Program is a unique national program which recognizes outstanding quality projects and initiatives at communities with active and realigning or closing installations, the individuals that lead them and members from the military and private sector and recognize outstanding achievements in the field. The program recognizes innovative plans and projects, distinguished public officials and lay contributors, and ADC members.
