Her term will run from July 1 of this year through June 30,
2016, when she will then become president of the state society. In addition to
WSPE, she has also been very active in the Society of Women Engineers since
1996, encouraging young females to enter the profession.
“I am honored to be chosen by my fellow engineers who have
entrusted me to help shape the future of WSPE and our engineering profession,
particularly as we work with the stakeholders and the legislature over the next
several years to revise Chapter 18.43 RCW ‘Engineers and Land Surveyors Act,’”
said Gray.
Gray has been a member of WSPE since 2011. At PUD 1, she
serves as the director of water and wastewater operations and is the District’s
in-house licensed civil engineer.
Established in 1937, WSPE is a professional association
representing the interests of engineers from all fields of practice and is the
state society of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE). WSPE
includes licensed professional engineers, licensed structural engineers, licensed
land surveyors, engineer interns, graduate engineers, and engineering students.
The society’s primary objective is to advance and promote the public welfare.
Very active in the legislative process and government affairs, WSPE devotes
hundreds of hours of testimony before legislative committees and governmental
rule-making agencies on a vast array of subjects such as construction,
environment, licensing, public health, and transportation.
