of contributions via the Natural Resources Management System (RCS: CECW-O-39). Division
or district offices may require more frequent reports of greater detail.
11-5. Promotion. The Corps may encourage participation in the contributions program by
informing potential partners in a diplomatic manner of the opportunities that are available. The
potential for participants is tremendous and includes civic organizations, conservation clubs,
cooperating associations, local business, corporations, and individuals.
11-6. Recognition and Publicity.
a. Recognition. Recognition is encouraged as a way to express appreciation to
contributors and acknowledge the public support that has been received. The Corps will
acknowledge its appreciation in a manner consistent with the mission and goals of the Corps and
the standards of ethical conduct. This may include letters or certificates of appreciation (ENG
Form 4883-R as in Appendix S or a locally designed certificate), news releases, photo
opportunities, ribbon cutting ceremonies, articles in the project news briefs, or other appropriate
means. Recognition will avoid any suggestion of commercialization, advertising, endorsement of
a product, service or organization. Corps personnel may recommend exceptional contributors to
HQUSACE (CECW-ON) for possible special recognition.
b. On-site Recognition. The Corps will avoid on-site recognition that might clutter,
detract or interfere with the scenic value of the environment or project facilities. Limited use of
small markers or plaques may be appropriate on some locations as a way to provide recognition
of a contributor, express gratitude, and encourage others to contribute.
c. Contributor's Publicity. The Corps should advise contributors to appraise the Corps of
any publicity they initiate.
