Patty Mamola, P.E., has been installed as the first female president of NCEES since its founding in 1920. She accepted the office at the conclusion of the organization’s 92nd annual meeting, held August 21–24 in San Antonio, Texas. Having completed a one-year term as president-elect, she will now serve as president for the 2013–14 term.
A resident of Reno, Nevada, Mamola has been a member of the Nevada State Board of Engineers and Land Surveyors since 2006. She is a past board chair as well as a former NCEES Western Zone vice president.
Licensed as a professional engineer in Nevada since 1993, Mamola has focused her career on transportation, construction management, and analytical problem solving. She is one of the founding principals of the professional engineering firm Bowling Mamola Group, which is based in Reno.
Mamola is a graduate of South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. She is an active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Council of Engineering Companies, and the American Public Works Association.
In her speech accepting the office of NCEES president, Mamola outlined three key focus areas for the year ahead: promoting the professions of engineering and surveying, encouraging diversity, and improving professional mobility for U.S. professional engineers and surveyors domestically and internationally. She said, “When you limit the idea of who can be an engineer or surveyor or what they do, you limit what can be achieved. We must challenge those perceptions to accelerate advances in engineering and surveying.”
