 Vision statement

Tzufit Boyle is a civil engineer with nearly 25 years of experience in surface water design and operations, groundwater contamination, wastewater design, and solid waste design and planning, and has been volunteering at the Palm Beach Branch and Florida Section since 2011. She will provide specific support to local sections and branches, as well as our student chapters, by providing best practices ideas for growing and retaining membership, and by providing the resources available to all leaders. Having seen branches that struggled to remain active in a large geographic area, she is able to assist with ideas and planning. She will assist Region 5 in being more effective in funding local section, branch, and student chapter activities, and ensure that the student chapters have a wealth of resources in planning and executing symposia and promoting the profession at the onset of their careers. She will continue to advocate for the profession and our interest at the Legislative Fly-In and continue to foster a relationship with Congressmen and women for the benefit of our infrastructure.
