Haddock’s presidency represents a blend of inclusive leadership and community-focused engineering that aims to engage new members while reshaping public perception of civil engineering. Her ability to connect with engineers and the public alike positions her as a pivotal figure in shaping the future of the profession.
As the building industry evolves, the outcomes of Haddock's leadership could influence major projects across the nation. Organizations and professionals in construction await her vision on how to harmonize infrastructure with our environment.
