Garver Oklahoma Water Team Leader Mary Elizabeth Mach has
completed the Leadership for Engineers course hosted by the American Council of
Engineering Companies of Oklahoma.
Mary Elizabeth was one of 15 engineers to finish the class,
which was held over six half-day sessions that discussed 10 topics designed to
continue development of future engineering leaders.
The topics included
discussions on accounting, strategic planning, ethics, community involvement, and
business development.
“In engineering, great emphasis is on the technical aspects
of our work; however, effective leadership requires one to also develop other skills
and ideas that are vital for a successful team,” Mary Elizabeth said. “This
program took me to areas I had not yet experienced in engineering, which will benefit
me as I continue in my career.”
