Governor Batt has announced the winners of the 1998 Governor’s Job Training Partnership Act awards.

Amy Lucas, Coeur d’Alene, has been honored as a Distinguished Participant, and Emma Gebo, Pocatello, has won the Distinguished Private Industry Council Member award.

Lucas came to Idaho in December 1997 with a history of substance abuse problems and was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder resulting from a violent crime committed against her.

Through the efforts of a variety of state and local programs, Lucas began training in retail sales and now is employed at Goodwill. She currently is continuing her education at North Idaho College.
