Franks, a program associate in the Arkansas Procurement Assistance Center, part of the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, was honored with the NRCS State Technical Committee Individual Award on Feb. 17 during the Arkansas Association of Conservation Districts annual meeting.

Franks also worked with the groups on how to become registered as a federal vendor in the Systems for Award Management database to obtain USDA grants and payments.
