Expanded Board of Directors to Champion Mead & Hunt Vision

Mead & Hunt, an employee-owned design consulting firm, proudly announces its new seven-member Board of Directors, elected by stockholders at a recent meeting. Previously governed by a four-member Board, the move was made, in part, to answer the bold strategic vision of the company.

"Growth is on a record-setting pace at the firm, making obvious the need for additional visionaries on the Board of Directors," said Raj Sheth, Mead & Hunt President and Chief Executive Officer. "I am confident in the abilities of each member to steer the corporation toward its long-term goals."

The Board of Directors is also expected to continue championing employee causes, creating avenues for the team to thrive. This has been an ongoing success story, as the firm has been named among the top civil engineering firms to work for in the nation by CE News magazine two years in a row.

Members of the four-person Board - Raj Sheth, PE, Terry Kennedy, PE, Andy Platz, PE, and Doug Green, PE - each received new terms. New to the Board are Rusty Chesmore, PE, Amy Squitieri, and Eric Van Deuren, PE. Each Director is now leading or once led successful departments at the firm, and they bring unique specialties to their new role.

Mead & Hunt is rated as a top-500 consulting firm by Engineering News Record. They provide engineering, architecture, planning, and preservation services for the following client types: transportation, military, water resources, industrial and commercial, and municipalities and public entities. The firm has existed for more than 100 years, growing steadily each year. Recent accomplishments include:

• The Zweig Letter Hot Firm 2004 list as one of the top 100 fastest growing A/E firms
• Top 25 engineering company to work for in the nation by CE News
