work for the academy to thrive in the next generation, donating
many hours of volunteer time. Without their leadership, the academy
would not exist.
Along with Martin and Pezza, the current AGP board is
working to build on what the founding board created: Larry Jedele,
P.E., D.GE, M.ASCE, 2015 AGP president; Blaine Leonard, P.E.,
D.GE, Pres.10.ASCE, president-elect; Donald Anderson, Ph.D.,
P.E., D.GE, M.ASCE, admissions committee chair; John Anderson,
Ph.D., P.E., GE, D.GE, M.ASCE, past-president and admissions
committee member; Theresa Engler, public member; Richard Finno,
P.E., Ph.D., D.GE, M.ASCE; Garry H. Gregory, Ph.D., D.GE, P.E.,
M.ASCE, G-I representative; and W. Allen Marr, Jr., Ph.D., P.E.,
D.GE, NAE, M.ASCE.
AGP continues to push forward, recruiting qualified candidates
and raising the bar in the profession. If you’re a Diplomate, you can
help AGP by promoting the certification and helping to recruit qualified
colleagues. If you’re an owner, consider including board certified
engineers in your RFP/RFQs. If you’re not an active Diplomate,
consider volunteering for one of the committees or on the board.
AGP will be exhibiting at next year’s joint G-I/SEI conference.
AGP also has been being featured in the highly regarded (and
distributed) Civil Engineering Magazine, as well as in ASCE eNews,
SmartBrief and various other ASCE communication vehicles. t
AGP would welcome interest and feedback on how we use specialty
certification to raise the geo-professional bar. If interested in certification
or have any ideas to enhance our skills, please contact Ray Martin,
Ph.D., P.E., D.GE at raymartineng@aol.com, David Pezza, P.E., D.GE
at dpezz001@odu.edu or staff member Brian Sien, Aff.M.ASCE at
bsien@asce.org. Visit www.geoprofessionals.org for more information.
