International Erosion Control Association17 June 2010 – The International Erosion Control Association (IECA) has announced that Dwayne Stenlund, MS, CPESC, CPRM, is being recognized with the 2010 Presenter of the Year Award. This award recognizes an outstanding presenter that demonstrates excellence in presentation skills, educational delivery and content preparation. The winner is determined through the review of presenter evaluations received at IECA’s annual conference and expo.

Dwayne Stenlund - IECADwayne Stenlund, MS, CPESC, CPRM, was awarded with the Presenter of the Year Award for his course Concrete Management Best Practices in Minnesota at Environmental Connection 2010 in Dallas. Stenlund is a certified professional in erosion and sediment control and rangeland management, and holds an adjunct teaching position at the University of Minnesota in the Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering Department. He has worked in this capacity for the Minnesota Department of Transportation for more than 14 years and is involved with design, construction and maintenance using old and new ecologically and sustainable based technologies to solve difficult soil and storm water quality problems. He has a Master’s degree from the University of Minnesota in plant biology and extensive work in bioremediation of poor soils and naturalizing plant community systems. Stenlund had this to say of the honor, “I am honored. While I gave everything I had to the audience, the effort does not seem worthy of this recognition knowing so many great people from around the world also presented at IECA. I want to thank the contractors who enabled education to flow in both directions, and ultimately changed behaviors and invented best practices to meet the challenges of the clean water and air acts. I simply captured both the good and bad practices on digital media and let the images tell the story.”

IECA will release information on the 2010 Awards of Environmental Excellence, including how to nominate yourself or a colleague, later this summer. For a complete listing of 2009 winners, please visit http://www.ieca.org/conference/annual/awards.asp.
