GHD Service Group Manager Howard LaFever, P.E., has been
appointed to the nine-member board of directors of the newly formed
Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) by American Public
Works Association (APWA) President George Crombie.
The independent, non-profit ISI was formed by the
three national organizations – the APWA, the American Society of
Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the American Council of Engineering
Companies (ACEC). Its purpose is to create a sustainable
infrastructure project rating system and certification program to
enhance the sustainability of the nation’s non-building
infrastructure. The system will allow owners, operators, designers,
and builders to rate the infrastructure’s sustainability, at any
point in the lifecycle, in a manner that is understandable, easy to
utilize, and affordable. The program will provide guidance to
engineers and public works practitioners to plan and deliver
infrastructure solutions that achieve higher levels of sustainable
performance in the community and environment while being
responsible stewards of public and private spending.
Mr. LaFever (pictured below), with 41 years of
engineering experience, is a BCEE (Board Certified Environmental
Engineer) with specialty certification in Environmental
Sustainability and Water & Wastewater.
In addition to this recent appointment, Mr. LaFever
has been serving in a major role for APWA’s sustainability efforts
as a founding member of APWA’s “Center for Sustainability,” and
currently serves on the Center’s leadership group. The Center for
Sustainability provides tools and resources to APWA members and
community leaders to allow decision-makers to implement more
sustainable, economically sound, environmentally and socially
responsible long-term solutions.
