On a national level, Stefanie is a member of the Website Advisory Task Committee and has served as a corresponding member for the committee on Younger Members, where she assists in a variety of ways, including filling the role of eRoom moderator. Stefanie is also a member of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Stefanie is a senior transportation engineer for The Transpo Group in Kirkland. She has managed and conducted hundreds of transportation studies, advised public and private sector clients, and identified and developed feasible solutions to mitigate transportation impacts associated with development. She received her BS from the University of New Hampshire, Durham and her MS from the University of California, Berkley. Stefanie is licensed in three states. In addition, she received the 2005 Outstanding Younger Member Award from the San Francisco Section. Stefanie is a highly motivated professional making a difference through her career, her community service, and her involvement in ASCE. Congratulations Stef!
Congratulations all around for receiving the 2008 Younger Member Group Award!
The ASCE Committee on Younger Members has selected the Seattle Section YMF to receive the 2008 Younger Member Group Award for large groups. This is the second year in a row Seattle YMF has been recognized for their outstanding contribution to the community as last year they were runner-up for the 2007 Younger Member Group Award.
The purpose of this award is to recognize the efforts and achievements as well as promote excellence among younger member groups. Winners are selected based on social, professional, community service, and technical activities facilitated by the group; local student chapter involvement; YMF member research and publications; and award nominations and winners. This award also recognizes the fantastic job performed by the YMF in hosting the 2007 Western Regional Younger Member Council, held in Bellevue last year.
Seattle Younger Members attended the 2008 ASCE Annual Conference in Pittsburgh, PA in November to receive the award and cash prize on behalf of the YMF. In addition, the Seattle YMF is recognized in national's November 2008 ASCE News and the Younger Member Newsletter.
