  • Congrats, and thank you to Ms. Codi Till!

    The Memphis District stays busy with executing significant projects in support of the districts many initiatives, as well as hosting their valued partners and sponsors on trips like the Mississippi River Commission Inspection Trips twice a year. These projects and events are always successful; the reason for this is due to the teams and people who are working hard behind the scenes in support of these important events. If it weren't for the crew working hard in support of each event, trip, and project, none of what our district does would ever come to fruition; that's why recognizing these support teams is just as important as the event itself. With that said, recognizing those people for a job well done is just as important as the event itself, which is why we are so happy to say congratulations to Ms. Codi Till!
