Public
Works Leadership Fellow |
 |
|
 Bernier, Carr & Associates is very
proud to announce that Mr. Kris D. Dimmick, P.E., Vice
President of Municipal Engineering, has been named a Public
Works Leadership Fellow by the American Public Works
Association. The Leadership Fellow Designation was given to
Mr. Dimmick at International Public Works Congress &
Exposition in Denver, Colorado. As a Public Works
Leadership Fellow, Mr. Dimmick will complete a mentor
training program in Kansas City at the Donald C. Stone
Center for Leadership Excellence in Public Works and will
work directly with developing public works managers and
future leaders to share the knowledge and experiences he has
gathered over his 28 year career.
Today most Public Works Professionals in
Leadership positions are more than 50 years old. With the
retirement of so many talented individuals on the horizon,
this systematic transfer of knowledge and skills is
essential to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
Leadership Fellows have at least 20 years of experience in
the public works arena and are willing to commit at least 40
hours each year to mentoring young professionals. The
Leadership Fellows were awarded the Public Works Leadership
Fellow designation because of their accomplishments in
public works and contributions they have made to the
profession throughout their careers. “Each member of this
inaugural group will be linked as a mentor for a full year
to people entering the careers program,” said APWA Executive
Director Peter B. King. He noted that the new program builds
on APWA Chapter leadership institutes to offer a flexible
integrated approach to learning leadership skills, and
presents career options for technical and financial
specialists who want to move into a management track. |

TAKE A WALK ON THE GREEN SIDE
GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE WALKING TOUR |
|
The Village
of Sackets Harbor and the Town of Hounsfield can
boast of a surprising number of points of interest
within our community. From classic
19th
Century architecture and keystone bridges dating to
1825, to the Battlefield State Historic Site,
limestone schoolhouses, historic cemeteries, Park
Service sites,
and
sweeping lakeshore vistas, there is something for
every taste.
But, a new- and truly different- addition to the
list of guidebooks, maps, and pamphlets about our
area
is
a little publication prepared by Bernier, Carr &
Associates: A Green Infrastructure Walking Tour.
The walking tour highlights the improvements made to
the Village's and
Town's water system, lift station, and treatment
plant, as well as municipal
recycling programs, tree planting projects, and
applied sustainable technology. Mentioned sites on
the tour include Rain Gardens, Porous Pavement
Installations, Photovoltaic Cells at the Waste
Treatment Plant, and a dozen other features that we
can all be proud of as forward thinking, sustainable
infrastructure.
Bernier, Carr & Associates' pamphlet includes a
street map and a brief text description of each
"green"
feature or infrastructure program.
