Secretary Granholm, EM Honor Idaho Site's Flohr for Dedicated Federal Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm honored Idaho Cleanup Project (ICP) Manager Connie Flohr with the Secretary's Exceptional Service Award in recognition of Flohr's dedication and service to the Department of Energy (DOE) and nation. Flohr, who retires later this month, has spent most of her more than 23-year DOE career within the Office of Environmental Management (EM) in a wide range of leadership roles, including at EM headquarters and the ICP. As deputy manager and manager of the ICP, Flohr provided exemplary leadership overseeing all operational and business activities, while strengthening relationships with state and local stakeholders, according to the award citation signed by Granholm. Meanwhile, EM Senior Advisor William "Ike" White presented Flohr with a Distinguished Service Commendation on April 10, recognizing the ICP manager for her distinguished career service and leadership. "It is thanks to your exemplary performance that EM and DOE have realized significant accomplishments and has the EM team poised for sustained success in the future," the commendation says.
