Arkansas Adjutant General issued the following announcement on May 10.
Congratulations to the Arkansas Air National Guard's Tech. Sgt. Andrew Barrick for being the Air National Guard's nominee for the Air Force's Gen. Larry O. Spencer Innovation Award.
A Guardsman in the Arkansas Air National Guard’s 189th Airlift Wing is the Air National Guard’s nominee for this year’s Gen. Larry O. Spencer Innovation Award.
Tech. Sgt. Andrew G. Barrick, a 189th Maintenance Group aircraft electrical and environmental craftsman, assigned to Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark., was selected to compete against peers from around the entire Air Force.
“Most people think that innovation is about a new technology, and it might be, but there’s also got to be a focus on the processes and requirements that are foundational to improving the Air Force enterprise,” said Col David Allen, 189th Maintenance Group commander. “What Tech. Sgt. Barrick has focused on is integrating process with technology to improve outcomes.”
His nomination package was judged on several criteria, including operational impact, level of innovation, practicality of replication, and tangible and intangible benefits.
