AGP announces election results
The Academy of Geo-Professionals
(AGP) held its annual election for the
Board of Trustees during its August 6,
2012 annual meeting in Rosemont, IL.
The Nominations Committee con-
vened twice via teleconference prior
to the meeting to discuss future
leadership positions on the Board of
Trustees.
After careful deliberation, the commit-
tee recommended a one-year freeze
for all Trustee positions. Each officer
will remain in their current role for an
additional year. The Board also will
recruit qualified candidates willing to
serve on the Board and as an officer
and eventual President.
Following a unanimous vote by the
Board, the Academy’s 2013 Officers
remain as follows:
Steve Thorne, P.E., D.GE, M.ASCE
– President
John Anderson, Ph.D., P.E., G.E.,
D.GE, M.ASCE
– President-Elect
T. Michael McMillen, P.E., D.GE,
F.ASCE
– Immediate Past-President
In addition to the election, the Board
continued its development of AGP’s
Strategic Plan which had been initi-
ated in Tempe, AZ earlier in the year.
On August 5, the Board assigned
volunteers to various committee roles
to help AGP make the next steps in
obtaining the D.GE designation the
power and recognition it deserves.
Thank you to all the volunteers for
your willingness to serve.
