Kent-Sussex Industries, Inc. honored Dedra Norwood of Bridgeville as Outstanding Staff Employee of the Year 2011, with its Clifford T. Crouch Excellence In Service Award during KSI’s 50th annual Awards Dinner at the Sheraton Dover Hotel.

Norwood was presented a plaque from KSI, a State of Delaware Senate Tribute, sponsored by Sen. Gary Simpson, and a State of Delaware House of Representatives Tribute, co-sponsored by representatives Harvey Kenton and Jack Peterman.
