Congratulations to Barbara Turner

Barbara Turner is the recipient of the 2005 Service to America Medal for Career Achievement!

The feature article describing her qualifications for the award begins:
Barbara Turner's four decades with the federal government embody perseverance, achievement and public service that would be hard to match in the private sector, especially in today's world of frequent career changes. She worked her way from the lowest rungs to the highest, and along the way made a big difference in people's lives.

Read Barbara's profile: "Making a Difference Around the Globe".

Barbara was for many years a colleague at USAID, and I had many opportunities to see her outstanding work. It is a nice feeling to be able to congratulate her for a recognition amply deserved!
