Boulos, Ph.D., BCEEM, Hon.D.WRE, Dist.D.NE, Dist.M.ASCE, NAE, has been reelected for a three-year term to the Board of Trustees of the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers (AAWRE) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). His term began Oct. 1, 2016. He previously served as 2014 AAWRE President and on the AAWRE Board of Trustees from 2009 to 2015.

Boulos wrote 10 authoritative books and more than 200 technical articles on issues critical to the water and wastewater industry. He has won many national and international awards and honors, including notable technical awards for excellence in scholarship from the American Water Works Assn., the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and ASCE; the U.S. Ellis Island Medal of Honor; the ASCE Parcel-Sverdrup Civil Engineering Management Award; the University of Kentucky Hall of Distinction; the Lebanese American University Distinguished Alumni Award; and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Einstein Society Award. He was awarded Honorary Diplomate status by AAWRE and Distinguished Diplomate status in Navigation Engineering by the Academy of Coastal, Ocean, Port & Navigation Engineers (ACOPNE). He also was elected to the grade of Distinguished Member of ASCE and to the NAE.

Boulos received his Doctorate, Master of Science and Bachelor of Science degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Kentucky, and his Bachelor’s degree in General Science from the Lebanese American University. He also has completed Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management program.

AAWRE was created by ASCE and its Environmental and Water Resources Institute (EWRI) to improve the practice, elevate the standards, and advance the profession of water resources engineering. Key AAWRE goals are to identify and certify engineers with specialized knowledge in water resources for the benefit of the public; recognize the ethical practice of water resources engineering at the expert level; enhance the practice of water resources engineering; support and promote positions on water resources issues important to the public health, safety and welfare; and encourage life-long learning and continued professional development.

“Dr. Boulos is highly respected around the world as a pivotal leader in international business and water resources engineering and is person of impeccable character,” said AAWRE Trustee and President Deborah H. Lee, PE, PH, D.WRE, director, Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Michigan. “He is a champion of strong corporate governance and is deeply committed to the mission and values of AAWRE. He brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the organization and will be a tremendous asset to our board as we further our mission to promote and improve our noble profession and build better communities and a better world.
