Hill AFB, Utah: The Center of Pride and Honor (IEA-Installation Excellence Award)
Having been a resident of Utah my entire life, it is such an honor to see what amazing things are happening in our beautiful state. If you haven't read this in the newspaper, read it on the internet or heard it on the news, Hill AFB, Utah has an incredible opportunity to receive an outstanding award.
January 30th, 2008 marked a very proud moment for Team Hill as they welcomed Team IEA (Installation Excellence Award) to the South gate of Hill AFB. Joining them for the exciting welcome was Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr., Mrs. Utah, Davis High School drum line and many others from surrounding communities to bring in the spirit and support to Team Hill. Being 1 of 2 Air Force Base Commander in Chief Installation Excellence Award finalists shows that Team Hill, which consists of active duty, civilian and contractors are highly motivated in meeting the utmost professional standards. As Maj. Gen. Kathleen D. Close, Ogden Air Logistics Center Commander states, “Team Hill Flies, Fights and Wins Together as America’s Best.”
The Installation Excellence Selection Board (IESB) will be in Utah from 1/30 to 2/1. During that time they will be touring the base to see the many areas the make up Hill AFB, the people working there and the products being produced.
There are a number of criteria that Team IEA are looking at:
- Improving the work environment and quality of life
- Enhancing the productivity of workforce
- Increasing customer satisfaction
- Encouraging outstanding individual efforts
- Promoting energy conservation and environmental safety
What an honor it will be for the winner of the IEA (Installation Excellence Award) which includes $1 million, an Installation Excellence Trophy, Installation Excellence Flag and a letter of congratulations signed by the President. The runner-up will receive $500,000 for future base improvements.
As Team Hill awaits the announcement of which base wins, the State of Utah will be anxiously watching out for the news and sending many, many wishes for you to achieve that tremendous success.
Lastly, I want to say Thank YOU to everybody at Team Hill for standing proud, standing strong and representing the United States and the State of Utah with great honor.
