2007 Most Valuable Liaison Award Recipient

Dorothy Hindman
Senior Procurement Analyst
Army Contracting Agency

Dorothy Hindman has been the Army liaison for four years. A Senior Procurement Analyst at the Army Contracting Agency, she, along with the then-Army Committee member, was instrumental in ensuring inclusion of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act in the Army's office supplies Blanket Purchase Agreement. The Army made distributing AbilityOne products a non-negotiable requirement of the contract.

Ms. Hindman was a strong supporter of the Base Supply Center Program, aggressively supporting the sale of AbilityOne products through numerous Base Supply Centers on Army installations. She also coordinated Pentagon National Disability Employee Awareness Month events, which increase awareness of the AbilityOne Program by providing military customers with the opportunity to interact with participating nonprofit agencies and learn about their capabilities. And, when the Army Committee member retired, Ms. Hindman worked diligently in providing information to White House staff they needed in order to ensure the Army seat was filled in a timely manner.
