Gene Dinkins, P.E., P.L.S., began his term as 2012–13 NCEES president at the conclusion of the organization’s annual meeting, held August 22–25 in St. Louis, Missouri.

Dinkins has been a member of the South Carolina State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors since 2004. A resident of Columbia, South Carolina, Dinkins is president of Cox and Dinkins, Inc., a civil engineering and land surveying firm. He replaces outgoing president Dale Jans, P.E., of South Dakota, who will remain on the NCEES board of directors as immediate past president.

Also during the annual meeting, NCEES members elected Patty Mamola, P.E., of Nevada president-elect for the 2012-13 term. She is the first woman to hold this position since the organization was founded in 1920.

NCEES welcomed Michael Conzett, P.E., of Nebraska and Von Hill, P.S., of Utah to its board of directors as well. Conzett and Hill will serve two-year terms as vice presidents of the Central Zone and Western Zone, respectively.

Rounding out the board of directors are three members serving the second year of their two-year terms: David Widmer, P.L.S., of Pennsylvania continues as treasurer; Howard (Skip) Harclerode II, P.E., of Maryland returns as Northeast Zone vice president; and Theodore Sack, P.L.S., of Oklahoma returns as Southern Zone vice president.
