Happy retirement to Lizana Pierce, our Senior Engineer and Deployment Supervisor. ?? Lizana is retiring after nearly 30 years in energy technologies, project development, and management. She has dedicated about 25 of those years to assisting Indian Tribes in energy development and realizing their energy visions. Her Office of Indian Energy colleagues honored Lizana with a wool blanket, which is a tradition in Indian County to celebrate, respect, and honor people and their accomplishments and important milestones in life. We honored her with a surprise celebration at the Program Review–an event she started more than 20 years ago.
