Timms begins term as NCEES president

Joseph Timms, P.E., of West Virginia, began his term as 2010–11 NCEES president at the conclusion of the NCEES Annual Meeting, held August 18–21 in Denver.

Timms has served on the West Virginia State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers since 1998. A resident of Bridgeport, West Virginia, Timms retired as president and CEO of Consolidated Natural Gas (now Dominion) Transmission Corporation following a career spanning 50 years. He replaces outgoing President David Whitman, Ph.D., P.E., who will remain on the NCEES Board of Directors as immediate past president.

Also during last month’s Annual Meeting, NCEES members elected Dale Jans, P.E., of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, as its president-elect for the 2010–11 term. Jans has been a member of the South Dakota Board of Technical Professions since 1994.

NCEES also welcomed two new members of its Board of Directors in Nancy Gavlin, P.E., S.E., of Illinois and Patty Mamola, P.E., of Nevada. Gavlin and Mamola 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 term: David Widmer, P.L.S., of Pennsylvania returns as Northeast Zone vice president; Govind Nakarni, P.E., of Texas returns as Southern Zone vice president; and Gene Dinkins, P.E., P.L.S., of South Carolina continues as treasurer.
