Ms. Lessard has been recognized with many awards throughout her career, including the Governor's Environmental Excellence Award, the Maine Engineering Excellence Award and the Maine Town and City Manager's Association Leadership Award. She received a United States Coast Guard Public Service Commendation for her role in the transfer of 35 Maine lighthouses to local governments and nonprofit organizations.
