From Undecided to GIS Manager Brandie was recently promoted to GIS Manager in A&As Tri-Cities, Tenn.
branch. She is currently developing Enhanced 911 for Lee, Wise, and Dickenson
Counties among several other projects. In addition to her GIS work, Brandie is a Practicing Land Surveyor in Training (PLSIT). She is also an active member of the National Emergency Number Association (NENA), a group that strives for the realization of a universal emergency telephone number system. To accompany her membership in NENA, Brandie is a steadfast advocate for GIS and Enhanced 911. Brandie said, "I find it very rewarding to know that we are developing a system, as far as Enhanced 911 projects go, that will save lives and make a whole county a safer place to live." Brandie genuinely enjoys working with outstanding leaders at A&A who have fostered her professional development. Brandie added, "When you have the opportunity to work with the type of people that set an example of integrity second to none, and who encourage you to be your very best and beyond, you begin to start challenging yourself to be a reflection of them." Beyond work, Brandie is studying to obtain a Certificate in GIS from Mountain Empire Community College in spring 2005. She and her husband, Wade, enjoy travelling, shopping, collecting Christmas ornaments, and spending time with family and friends. & Radford Riverway Marks Grand Opening by Bob Thomas & Heather Porterfield
Since 2000, A&A has provided Enhancement Grant administration, planning, design,
and construction administration for Phase 1. This initial phase offered several unique
planning and design challenges, such as retaining walls, traffic signals, traffic control,
signage, a pedestrian underpass structure, and three bridge crossings of a FEMA-regulated
stream.
