Committed to putting clients at
the center of everything we do
At this year's American Society of Civil Engineers conference in Panama, I
presented via video the lessons our profession can glean from Panama Canal
Chief Engineer, George Washington Goethals; in particular his strengths as
a master builder-one who plans, designs, constructs, and operates the built
environment for the benefit of society. However, it was also Goethals' ability to
establish good relations with the public, public officials, and owners that helped
him complete the canal 100 years ago; therefore a master builder and master
integrator, delegator, and communicator.
I have been on Dewberry's Board of Directors for a little more than a year, and it's
the company's commitment to being a master integrator for clients where I have
been most impressed. Where there are also opportunities to mentor employees
as that community-based engineer, architect, or consultant, who understands
the complex and often political issues at play, Dewberry is there. They are
highly competent leaders, both responsive and responsible to clients, seeking to
maximize the contributions of everyone for the benefit of our communities, the
economy, and our quality of life.
