Jamie Bartel awarded SAME’s regional vice president’s medal
GHD’s Jamie Bartel has been awarded with the SAME's (Society of American Military Engineers) Regional Vice President's Medal.
This award is presented to individuals who demonstrate consistent and outstanding service and contributions to their local Post and to The Society.
“We are so glad that SAME has recognized Jamie’s years of service to this important government-industry engagement professional society, especially recognizing Jamie’s leadership of their coastal resiliency program!” said Lisa Brandon, GHD Federal Sector Leader.
Jamie has been a member of the SAME Mobile Post since 2010 and joined the Board of Directors in 2012 to support the various monthly and annual Post activities. From 2018 to 2020 she served as secretary before assuming the Vice President role in 2020.
In 2021, she was elected President of the chapter where she helped to make the transition back to in-person events post-pandemic. As President, she ran monthly board meetings, prepared quarterly newsletters that recognized Post members and events throughout the year, and helped recruit new members to join the board.
It is truly an honor to receive this award and to be recognized by so many for all of the ways I have served the post. I am very grateful, humbled and proud of our Post and what we have done together to keep it moving forward over the years.
As a professional geologist and MBA graduate with over 32 years’ experience in environmentally related fields and project management, she has managed a multitude of federal projects that have benefitted her clients’ communities and the environment.
Her expertise lies in coastal restoration projects, including environmental site assessments, impact studies, feasibility studies, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance, remedial projects and exit strategies in accordance with various government regulations.
Being passionate about mentorship, Jamie actively participated in the SAME Mobile Post Student Chapter Industry Day by conducting mock interviews with students and taught them about post-college employment opportunities in the industry.
During her time with SAME she also organized and recruited presenters for and ran the Annual Resilience Workshop.
