SEOUL, South Korea, May 5, 2008 - Gloria Jean Prince of Baltimore, Md., is the recipient of the 2007 GEICO Public Service Award for her volunteer work in the field of substance abuse prevention and treatment. She serves as the education specialist for the U.S. Army Substance Abuse Program in South Korea. GEICO's Public Service Award recognizes her commitment to leadership and her expertise in providing prevention services for the soldiers serving in South Korea.
Prince has earned a reputation for delivering innovative services to the base populations she serves. She tailored the substance abuse deterrent and prevention programs to meet the unique needs of the base populations. Her findings resulted in a new policy that set limits on the blood alcohol levels for soldiers. In turn, the base witnessed a significant reduction of incidents of underage drinking and other substance abuse-related incidents.
Prince also created a specially-designed program, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Training (ADAPT), for those with existing substance-abuse problems.
In addition to her work on the base, Prince serves as a certified Army Family Team Building instructor, a designated mentor to female students at the Department of Defense Dependent School in Seoul, and she has led community campaigns for Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention, Alcohol Abuse Screening, National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery, and Red Ribbon Month.
GEICO's Public Service Awards each year honor five civilian career federal employees and retirees for outstanding achievements in the fields of substance abuse prevention and treatment, fire prevention and safety, physical rehabilitation, and traffic safety and accident prevention. Each receives a $2,500 cash award and an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C., for a special recognition ceremony.
