ST. PAUL, Minn. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, selected Stillwater, Minnesota, resident Chad Konickson as one of its three Civil Servants of the Year for 2016.

The St. Paul District presents this award annually to the top three or four employees of its nearly 600-person staff. Konickson, who's worked for the Corps of Engineers for 18 years and the St. Paul District for four years, is now the Regulatory Branch Chief at the district’s headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota.  

Konickson received his award in recognition of his ability to solve problems using innovative solutions. The award was presented to him at the 39th Annual Minnesota Federal Civil Servant of the Year Awards in Bloomington, Minnesota, at the Double Tree Hotel May 5. Among all the federal nominees recognized at this event, Konickson was a top-5 finalist in his award category.   

“In the past year, Chad and his team have made significant improvements to our regulatory program that will allow us to work more efficiently and better serve the public,” said Tamara Cameron, Konickson’s supervisor. “He would be the first to attribute this success to his team, and accepted this recognition on their behalf.”    
The nearly 600 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, employees working at more than 40 sites in five upper-Midwest states serve the American public in the areas of environmental enhancement, navigation, flood damage reduction, water and wetlands regulation, recreation sites and disaster response. Through the Corps’ Fiscal Year 2015 $100 million budget, nearly 1,600 non-Corps jobs were added to the regional economy as well as $155 million to the national economy.
