Vincent Dickinson Presented the
2009 ASQ Pine Tree State Section’s Special Recognition Award
Vincent Dickinson has been unanimously
selected by the Executive Committee of ASQ Pine Tree State Section
#0105 as this year’s recipient of their Special Recognition. Award. The
Special Recognition Award represents recognition of Maine’s outstanding
non-quality professional of the year, whose work has improved or
expanded quality, changed the quality profession with the impact of
their efforts, or has significantly changed a quality process.
Vince Dickinson was selected for his
presentation of Environmental “Green” Lean as Environmental Compliance
Officer for Bath shipbuilding operations. Criteria which distinguished
Vince were his significant cost savings and cost avoidance measures he
had successfully initiated along with development of a proactive and
constructive relationship he had built with DEP and EPA administrators.
What proved remarkable was, by keeping the regulatory agencies informed
of problems and planned corrective/preventive actions, they granted
significant leeway because they were in the loop for anticipated
changes and improved results.
Please join with me in congratulating Vincent for the
remarkable job he has done and the recognition he surely deserves as
our 2009 recipient of the Pine Tree State Section’s Special Recognition
Award. His contributions are a positive reflection of Bath Iron Works
and the trust and confidence placed in him by his employer.

outstanding quality professional of the year—one who has given the
greatest effort and has made the most accomplishments during the year

emerged from her peers as one of the lean leaders in the state and is

difficulties thereby ensuring its survival. She also plays a major role
