We will soon have to wish our Executive Director Sharon Powers, a sad but grateful farewell. As most of you already know, Sharon will be leaving us in May. With my President’s message for this issue of the Dams & Levees Bulletin I would like to take a little time to publicly thank Sharon for all she has done for the US Society on Dams, and let a few others who’ve worked closely with her share their own thoughts as well. I noted some of her accomplishments in my last message, but many bear repeating. They include:
There isn’t enough space here to give everyone the opportunity to share their gratitude for Sharon’s hard work and professionalism, so I encourage you to reach out to her directly and thank her on your own.
