Today, the Bureau of Reclamation recognized Ann Demint as Reclamation’s Project Manager of the Year. Ann is a project manager working in Reclamation’s Albuquerque Area Office within the Upper Colorado Basin Region. She was recognized during a Reclamation-wide virtual ceremony.
The award reinforces the importance of project management for Reclamation's mission of delivering water and power to the Western United States.
“Ann’s work exemplifies a dedication to Reclamation’s mission and represents the robust project management approach that we are committed to providing,” said Deputy Commissioner for Operations David Palumbo. “Congratulations to Ann Demint on this recognition of her professional excellence.”
Reclamation is honoring Ann for her management of projects within the Upper Colorado Basin Region in support of the Middle Rio Grande River Maintenance Program.
Ann began her career with the Albuquerque Area Office in 2012, and is currently assigned highly complex projects supporting water management in the West. She is known by colleagues as a knowledgeable mentor, a strong leader and for working collaboratively with stakeholders to ensure project success.
Reclamation’s award announcement coincides with International Project Management Day on November 3, a designated occasion to encourage project-based organizations like Reclamation to demonstrate appreciation for the achievements of project managers and their teams.
Reclamation also recognized four other nominees for the Project Manager of the Year Award. They are:
- Columbia-Pacific Northwest: Brian Clark
- Lower Colorado Basin: Andrea Finnegan
- Missouri Basin/Arkansas, Rio Grande and Texas Gulf: Thomas Moritz
- California-Great Basin: David Klipp
Reclamation promotes core project management principles based on best practices, which can significantly improve performance by applying sound project management knowledge, processes, skills, tools, and techniques. This is increasingly accepted across all industries. Reclamation has a project management framework that integrates existing government-wide and U.S. Department of the Interior project management requirements and clarifies project management practices for those projects for which no specific mandates apply.
