Gannett Fleming Affiliates Inc. has welcomed Peter M. Bernhardt and Lynne M. Miller to its board of directors effective November 18, 2016.
Bernhardt is the non-executive chair of the board of PC Construction in South Burlington, Vermont. He retired in 2013 after a 37-year career with the firm, serving the last 15 years as president and CEO. During that time, Bernhardt spearheaded the company’s successful achievement of its strategic goals, expansion into new markets and delivery methods, and grew annual revenues to approximately $500 million. He also has served on a number of private and public boards.
Miller possesses more than 30 years of leadership experience, including 20 years on an S&P 500 utility board and 10 years on the board of a community bank. For 16 years, she served as president and CEO of Environmental Strategies Corporation, an environmental firm that she co-founded. Under her leadership, the Reston, Virginia-based firm grew to 11 offices with more than 180 professional staff members. Her experience as an environmental consultant makes her an astute advisor on the environmental issues facing Gannett Fleming, and she has a broad understanding of financial and regulatory matters as well.
“Bringing extensive executive and board experience, Peter and Lynne are certainly valued additions to our team,” said Bob Scaer, PE, Gannett Fleming chairman and chief executive officer. “With the growth of Gannett Fleming Affiliates, Inc., we continue to cultivate a board that’s knowledgeable, objective, and has all the elements necessary for good corporate governance.”
