Dr. Deborah Jean O’Bannon:I have been active in both the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE): I am a Fellow in both societies. I served on ASCE’s technical committee on Hydrologic Dispersion and Transport in the 1990s, where we coordinated conference sessions. I served as the Chair of the committee in 1992-1993. I am currently (since 2006) on the Editorial Board of the ASCE Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education and Practice, and serve as a Corresponding Editor. I have held numerous positions in SWE, including services as a Director on the Board of Directors from 1995-1997. I later served on the Editorial Board from 2000-2014, where I initiated the Annual Review of Literature for Women and Girls in Engineering, which has become an asset to the SWE magazine and the Society. I am also involved in the capstone design community and have participated in several Capstone Conferences.
