Congratulations Pat Boddy for being recognized as a  2015 “Women of Influence”.  For more than 15 years the Business Record’s Women of Influence awards has celebrated the work of women who are making a difference. These women are spending countless hours on various boards and committees, blazing a trail either personally or professionally for other women to follow.  We are very proud of Pat and her accomplishments! Her commitment and dedication to making our communities more sustainable are just a FEW of the reasons she is most deserving of this award!

As a licensed professional engineer (water resources) with an extensive background in government administration and business ownership, Pat brings a wealth of experience in public engagement and outreach, strategic and master planning, and overall parks, natural resources, and watershed management to RDG.

As RDG’s sustainability director, her work focuses on underpinning all projects with the means to achieve social, environmental, and economic results.
