He has also completed Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program.

The American Academy of Water Resources Engineers was created by ASCE and its Environmental and Water Resources Institute (EWRI) to improve the practice, elevate the standards, and advance the profession of water resources engineering. Key AAWRE goals are to identify and certify engineers with specialized knowledge in water resources for the benefit of the public; recognize the ethical practice of water resources engineering at the expert level; enhance the practice of water resources engineering; support and promote positions on water resources issues important to the public health, safety and welfare; and encourage life-long learning and continued professional development. 

“Dr. Boulos is highly respected around the world as a pivotal leader in international business and water resources engineering and is person of impeccable character,” said AAWRE Trustee and President Deborah H. Lee, PE, PH, D.WRE, Director, Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Michigan. “He is a champion of strong corporate governance and is deeply committed to the mission and values of AAWRE. He brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the organization and will be a tremendous asset to our Board as we further our mission to promote and improve our noble profession and build better communities and a better world. I join my fellow board members in wholeheartedly welcoming Dr. Boulos to our Board.” 

“It’s an especially meaningful pleasure to be asked to serve on this distinguished board,” Boulos said. “I am so proud to be a part of this noble and great profession and look forward with excitement to the advances we will make together in furthering AAWRE’s mission to enhance the field and standing of water resources engineering.”
