The division, which is part of the Department of General Services, received the Raising the Bar Award in recognition of program enhancements made since the previous year as well as its ongoing commitment to supplier development.
Marshall received the 2011 Advocate of the Year Award for her work promoting entrepreneurship and assisting SWAM vendors that are seeking to do business with the county.
