The Environmental and Water Resources Institute (EWRI) has announced the results of the FY2018 Vice Presidential election, naming Scott D. Struck, Ph.D., M.ASCE, as the winner. Beginning October 1, 2017, Scott will serve a four-year term on EWRI’s Governing Board. Scott will serve one year each as Vice President, President Elect, President, and Past President of EWRI, in that order.
Dr. Struck is Principal with Geosyntec Consultants in Lafayette, Colorado. He has more than 15 years of water resources experience in research and private industry, building upon his bachelor, masters and doctoral degrees (University of Washington and Indiana University). He often participates in research with academic and governmental institutions, appreciating the need to incorporate and apply research results and outcomes to the problems of other clients. He believes that bridging the gap between academic efforts and client applications is an important aspect of his practice and an area that EWRI is best prepared to fulfill across all our technical disciplines. His professional passion is in planning, implementation, and assessment of green infrastructure and other stormwater best management practices to meet drainage and NPDES permit requirements. Examples of his experience includes identification and prioritization of management opportunities for stormwater practice selection and placement, modeling, design, monitoring, performance assessment, cost analyses, triple bottom line and life cycle cost evaluation, and integrated watershed planning. He has participated in projects throughout the United States and Canada. He has experience working with public (municipal, county, state, and federal), private (industrial and commercial), and non-profit (local and national NGOs) clients.
Please join me in congratulating Scott D. Struck on his new appointment as EWRI’s Vice President for FY2018.
