What is Engineers Without Borders (EWB)?
EWB is not your average trade organization. We are an action oriented group dedicated to the successful completion of our projects. Don't be fooled by the name. We are made up of all kinds of professions from engineers to nurses, to urban planners, to educators, to construction professionals. I'm sure there is a way you can get involved and help. Hope to see you soon!
Mission / Vision
Our vision is a world in which all communities have the capacity to meet their basic human needs.

The Mountain Region Workshop was held this last weekend in Flagstaff and it was very well attended. There were great sessions to learn everything from solar PV design and installation to pump hydraulics and construction management - all hands on!! Everyone also had a great time meeting other members and officers from chapters all over the region.
Big thanks go out to the University of Wyoming chapter who drove 14 hours to get to the workshop!!
Even bigger thanks go out to the Northern Arizona Chapter, Benjamin Moan, and Dr. Paul Trotta for organizing and executing the whole affair.
National Staff was well represented with our CRM Colleen O'holleran, Executive Director Cathy Leslie, PM Peter Waugh, and PR guru Jenny Starkey all attending. Our Mountain Region Board representative, Paul Shea, president of CDM, was also there with his wife.
Check out the Mountain Region's website soon for pictures and copies of presentations given at the event. www.ewbmountain.org
